Setting and using the ScreenHop feature

After connecting a HUAWEI wireless mouse (WYN) to multiple devices (tablets/computers), you'll be able to move the cursor seamlessly from screen to screen, without having to press the switch key. If you connect a HUAWEI Ultrathin Keyboard to these devices at the same time, the keyboard will also follow the mouse in switching between the different devices, making cross-device office work remarkably easy.

A mouse and a keyboard can be connected to up to three devices (tablets/computers) at a time.

Procedure:

  1. Power on the devices to be connected and update the corresponding apps to their latest versions, based on the device type.
