Curious... could you use your phone as a mouse?

I'm in this weird situation... the answer initially to this question I would think is yes...

but let me explain further

I don't have a mouse... usually when I start a desktop computer I am prompted by a message that says "no mouse detected"

Anyway... if I plug in my android phone into the desktop and assuming an app existed... well

Is there anyway that this could work?

How about a Windows 8.1 tablet... using the screen as a mousepad?

I'm going to get a mouse eventually like in a couple of days but out of curiosity...
 
Im seeing apps for android. Only two free. and only about 13,000 downloads. i would stay away from.
 
Oh yeah, the problem is that I don't have internet access yet, not trying to use a long Ethernet cord and also don't have a wifi receiver yet... but I saw one like Phone Remote or something like that. Remote Mouse maybe... I was hoping to plug the phone in via usb and it would detect it like a mouse.
 
There's a Logitech one too titled 'Touch Mouse'

It's just a client/server app over wireless so you don't even need to 'plug it in'

He could use the wired interface on his PC, being within the same broadcast domain on the network it should have no problems working with one side wired :P

Assuming he only meant 'wireless receiver' as the NIC on the PC. /shrug.

As far as direct wired options like using the phone via USB I don't really know of any.
 
I don't have ethernet either, router is not in my room.

That mobi app looks intriguing

I have to get one a usb wireless receiver
