This is very useful when you have a computer set up as a PVR. Most of the time, you can do what you need to do with a remote control, but occasionally you’ll need to navigate the file system or close a pesky dialog box (no, I don’t want to upgrade my antivirus, thanks), and for that Touch Mouse can be very useful.

My one small concern about Touch Mouse is that there is no authentication going on; it appears that any computer that is running the Touch Mouse server software on the same wireless network shows up in the Touch Mouse app. That won’t be a problem for me since I’m using it at home on my home network, but it could be a problem in other environments.
