Hey everyone! I just got a mini PC and I'm in the middle of setting it up, but I totally forgot to grab a keyboard and mouse before I returned from vacation. I have a Magic Mouse, but it doesn't connect via cable. My PC is hooked up through my Google TV, and I also have an Android tablet. Is there any way I can set everything up without a keyboard or mouse? The PC is connected to the internet via Ethernet, if that helps!

How far are you from a store that sells mice? You can usually pick one up for about 20 bucks. In the meantime, you could use the on-screen keyboard if you can get into the system.

WanderLust23: Iโ€™m in the Netherlands and itโ€™s nighttime right now, so stores are closed! Any other ideas?

You might be lucky! My local 24-hour pharmacy has keyboards and mice available, just check if there's one nearby!

Honestly, you really need a keyboard and mouse to set things up properly. But if you can find an app on your devices that lets you control it remotely, that might be an option!

WanderLust23: Thatโ€™s what I was thinking! Can anyone suggest apps that might work for this?
