Got this to use with my Computer via PiKVM and works well for the most part. Though there 2 issues. 1. Mouse movement is fairly erratic when moving very slowly. This makes fine control nearly impossible. 2. MAJOR problem when first connecting. The phones clipboard is pasted into the remote machine as if being typed out by the keyboard. Executes shortcuts, types in chats, etc.. Thanks for quick reply, will report this using the link you provided. Thanks!

Update: Thanks Marc! Previous reply: The 1st issue is because the software is trying to correct for erratic input from the Android subsystem, avoiding rapid mouse jumps. UPDATE For the second issue, please see: https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/issues/926

Used to crash/disconnect a lot making the app unusable,but lately the connection is super stable,it even stays connected after running for a long while in the background,really happy with the app.Seems the issue may have been fixed I suppose (or it was my phone/network,though I didn't change anything on my side+my Windows VNC client worked perfectly..maybe a Samsung phone issue..).Btw i purchased aRDP Pro to get sound, both are wonderful apps, thanks for the amazing work. Will purchase here too.

EDIT: Still haven't heard back, please email us at support _at_ morpheusly _dot_ com or at least update your review... Additional piece of info, the Pro version allows you to lock the whole app with a password. I noticed you're using an older version. Is it happening in the latest one v5.2.9? I cannot reproduce the issue at all at the moment.
