I have a rather unusual need that I am trying to figure out how to accomplish. I need to be able to trigger a mouse click or a key combination on my laptop computer from my desktop computer. I am using a special program on the desktop computer that requires me to click the mouse/touchpad buttons on the laptop, but I cannot hit the required keys or the mouse button because of a disability. I have special hardware and software that allows me to do this, but it is installed separately on both computers, so I cannot use the mouse and keyboard functions on the desktop and the laptop at the same time. It's either one or the other. I have a Rube Goldberg-like solution that might work but I was wondering if there was something easier. My idea was to use a USB missile launcher toy that can be pointed in different directions and is controlled by an accompanying software program. I could make the missile launcher hit the button on the mouse on my laptop. This is really a complicated solution, and I don't like the idea of wasting money on a silly toy to accomplish one little task, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a better solution.

I would suggest naming the software program you are using and furthermore contacting the help/support for this software as it sound very specific however if you name the software someone here might be able to better help you

You can try using software on your computer to remotely control your laptop (RealVNC - link here).
