Yes, scrcpy works as well. All those options are about how scrcpy
behaves.<br>

You can increase the screen size on the desktop. But, phone screen
is already so tall, that there isn't much room to increase.<br>
<br>
At least, on my Samsung A16 (cheapest in their lineup), I can use
real keyboard/mouse. Familiar "mouse pointer" shows up on phone
screen, and you can click any button using mouse.<br>
<br>
In the beginning, my focus was more on "automation", eg. sending key
press (mostly) and mouse click. So, I looked into making
"programmable keyboard". Just ssh into the board, and run command
to send out key press out to the phone. To the phone, it's just
another keyboard. But, I think, using ADB over network is better
for Android phone. It's 1-step solution, whereas programmable
keyboard is 2-step.<br>
<br>
That said, this programmable keyboard is interesting and useful in
many ways... :-)<br>
