Using a MacBook to control a PC?

[Antics^^ 10]

Having had a disaster with my wireless keyboard and some ginger beer I'm looking for solutions to control my Windows7 NetTop using my Mac's keyboard?

 

Recently found a Logitech iPhone app to tide me over, but wondered if there's anything out there as an alternative?

Is this of any help?

You could enable remote desktop on the Windows computer and then use the MS client to connect: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client

 

It is a lot faster than VNC.

Teamviewer? It's got a timed free version, or you can pay for a Pro License

Logmein is another decent option....Can view the remote pc from a web browser, no need to install a viewing app

 

on the down side its a tad slow, but definitely usable

It's always the ginger beer... I've had a similar mishap before, so I feel your pain. For remote access, I use RHUB because it bundles remote access / support and Web conferencing into one service.
