LG VPInput is Connecting Your Smartphone to Your PC

LG VPInput is Connecting Your Smartphone to Your PC  — LG is introducing a new app for owners of G4, G5 and V10 that gives them the ability to easily pair their LG smartphones with their PCs via Bluetooth. Available free from Google Play, the VPInput app gives LG smartphone users control of their devices using their PC’s mouse and keyboard, a convenient solution when you’re at your desk but want to check your phone without interrupting your workflow.

Connecting a PC and an LG smartphone is as easy as downloading the mobile app from Google Play Store and the PC or Mac counterpart from LG’s website. No Internet or even Wi-Fi is needed, as the wireless connection is done over Bluetooth, which means the PC must have that functionality. Not a problem for laptops, but not all desktops are properly equipped.

With VPInput on the phone and the accompanying program installed on the PC, text copied from a Word document on the PC can be pasted directly into your smartphone and a screen shot from your smartphone can easily be displayed on your PC monitor. What’s more, the function keys on the PC keyboard can be setup as shortcuts to launch your favorite smartphone features or apps.

The basic purpose of VPInput is to let users control their LG smartphone from their PCs or Mac, which means mouse clicks translate to touches and keyboard input is relayed to the Android smartphone. It does have a few bonuses that go beyond direct control. LG’s VPInput is definitely not the only game in town, most of which work with devices other than LG’s three high-end smartphones.
