I does just what I hoped for. I have a smartphone with a broken screen which does not respond to touch. I used a USB mouse to get the bluetooth going on the cellphone and now it connects as soon as I turn on the Rii and can control the phone again. Good stopgap method to get the phone working. It controls using the touchscreen or with the navigation buttons. The keyboard rocks a bit on a flat surface because the laser has a bump-out on the bottom but a soft surface settles it down.
