出門在外電腦沒在身邊,但需要挂機、開寶箱?手癢癢想要玩一下遊戲,但又覺得手機螢幕太小?想要躺在床上也能玩GTA、傳説對決還有steam遊戲?今天小編就來教大家2個方法,可以在iPad、平板上順暢玩PC遊戲,甚至把iPad變成電腦的遊戲手把,一起來看看吧!

小編力薦:使用遠端桌面軟體DeskIn在iPad上玩PC遊戲

大家都知道透過遠端軟體可以用本地的行動裝置連缐並控制遠端裝置。但是大部分遠端桌面軟體只關注遠端辦公情景,提供簡單的遠端控制和協作功能,缺少遠端遊戲相關的支援的功能。而且連缐品質不穩定,掉缐、延遲明顯,基本只能完成一些簡單的挂機、開寶箱、商城買買東西的動作,對於FPS遊戲基本無法支援。

DeskIn遠端軟體打破了所有的這些限制。不僅提供穩定、沒有時間限制、高清的連缐,而且提供高幀率,低延遲的連缐品質以及豐富的遠端遊戲支援功能,幫助你輕鬆在iPad/手機上就可以遠端電腦進行順暢遊戲。

這是使用DeskIn遠端桌面軟體在iPad用手把玩刺客教條遊戲的畫面,是不是非常絲滑呢,一起來看看怎麽做吧!


前置準備:iPad連缐PC電腦

在您的電腦和 iPad 上下载 DeskIn,注冊一個免費賬戶並分別登入。(注:如果你是首次在新裝置登入,需要到注冊信箱完成驗證唷,避免你的裝置被駭遊戲帳號被盜。)然後在iPad的DeskIn上輸入要連缐的PC的設備代碼以及密碼,就可以成功連缐了!


方式一:使用虛擬滑鼠控制PC遊戲

iPad成功接入PC之後,你就可以使用系統的虛擬滑鼠對遊戲進行一些簡單的控制了,DeskIn支援指針模式和觸控模式兩種滑鼠模式,根據您自己的偏好選擇就好。DeskIn的連缐非常流暢,滑鼠反應也很快,跟本地操作基本沒什麽區別。



你也可以根據自己的網路狀況調整畫質、幀率,也可以直接選擇系統的遊戲模式,更加便捷。


還可以調成遊戲模式,提升遊戲體驗

方式二:使用本地遊戲手把控制PC遊戲

當然了,使用虛擬滑鼠只能滿足一些簡單的掛機需求,如果要進行遊戲,你也可以用本地的手把來控制。步驟也很簡單。首先將您的手把透過有缐或無缐的方式連接到您的iPad;然後在遠端會話找到工具列>>鍵鼠>>「手把映射」,點擊後在手把清單中選中您的遊戲手把即可


這樣你就已經可以用本地手把來控制遠端遊戲了。以Switch 手把爲例,Switch 手把連 Windows 後還要額外針對按鍵作配對設定超級麻煩,反而像這樣透過 iPad 直接藍牙連線就可以用非常方便。其他大部分的xbox手把、Playstation也都可以支援。


方式三:使用自訂遊戲鍵盤控制PC遊戲

如果你沒有手柄的話也完全不用擔心,因爲DeskIn還有遊戲鍵盤的功能,你可以根據PC遊戲需要,自訂遊戲鍵盤,甚至組合按鍵,也可以順暢進行遊戲。

首先在遠端工具列,找到鍵鼠 >> 遊戲鍵盤


點擊「新建佈局」可創建新的遊戲鍵盤


點擊頂部工具列,按照遊戲需要添加方向盤、滑鼠按鍵和鍵盤按鍵在桌面,你還可以隨意調整其透明度、大小、命名、位置等等。

你還可以設定組合按鍵,一鍵放大招:點擊鍵盤左下角「組合鍵」,選中指定按鍵組合後按「確定」即可。若選錯了,再按一次該按鍵即可刪除。

遊戲鍵盤設置頁面

設定完成你就可以開始遊戲啦!

方法2:使用Steam Link(需要同一區域網路)

當然如果你想玩的是Steam的遊戲,也可以直接使用Steam Link,它是Steam提供的遠端暢玩功能。

1.首先要在電腦端Steam設置中啓用遠端暢玩;

2.在iPad上下載好Steam Link,讓PC和iPad處在同一個區域網路,登入Steam Link後,在PC上輸入iPad上出現的PIN碼,等一兩秒就可以配對成功了~


需要注意的一點是,Steam Link需要PC和iPad在同一區域網絡下才能進行連接,恐怕很難實現遠程使用iPad玩PC遊戲。

結論

本文介紹了兩種用iPad玩PC遊戲的方法——使用遠端桌面軟體DeskIn或者選用Steam Link,對比下來,DeskIn的可用性會更高,一是沒有同一網路的限制,而且延時低,掉缐情況少,還提供4K畫質,無論什麽桌面遊戲都可以遊玩,快下載試試看吧!

Top 7 RDP Alternative Tools for Faster, Safer Remote Access

Remote desktop access used to feel like a solid bridge. Now, for many users, traditional RDP feels more like a creaky rope ladder. With performance issues, security concerns, and limited cross-platform support, it's no surprise that more people are actively searching for a better RDP alternative that actually keeps up with modern workflows.

  • Built-in file transfer and multi-session support

Cons

  • Newer compared to legacy brands

Best for: Users who want a powerful, flexible RDP alternative

RDP Alternative DeskIn

DeskIn feels less like remote access and more like teleportation for your desktop. Whether you're managing servers, supporting clients, or working remotely, it delivers consistently smooth performance without the usual lag spikes seen in traditional RDP setups.

Unlike many tools, DeskIn eliminates the need for complex configurations. You don't need to wrestle with firewalls or VPNs just to connect. It also works seamlessly across platforms, making it a strong alternative to Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac and mobile users alike.

For teams juggling multiple systems, DeskIn provides a unified experience that replaces fragmented workflows. It's also a strong free RDP alternative option with premium-level capabilities, making it ideal for both individuals and businesses.

2. TeamViewer – Best for Enterprise Remote Support

Pros

  • Enterprise-grade security and compliance

  • Extensive feature set including collaboration tools

  • Cross-platform compatibility

  • Reliable global performance

Cons

  • Expensive licensing

  • Can be overkill for individuals

Best for: Enterprises needing secure and scalable remote access

The main trade‑off is its pricing: licenses are subscription‑based and can become expensive for small teams or individual users, especially as TeamViewer aggressively flags personal use as commercial, leading to session restrictions.

3. AnyDesk – Best Lightweight RDP Alternative for Speed

Pros

  • Fast and responsive

  • Lightweight installation

  • Works well on low bandwidth

  • Easy to use

Cons

  • File transfer can be inconsistent

  • Lag during longer sessions

Best for: Users needing quick, simple remote access

RDP Alternative AnyDesk

AnyDesk is a lightweight remote desktop application prized for its speed and efficiency, often recommended as a fast alternative to Microsoft's native Remote Desktop on Windows 10 and Android. It uses a proprietary video codec, DeskRT, to achieve low latency even on limited bandwidth, making it ideal for quick support sessions and accessing devices over mobile networks. The interface is clean and minimalist, with features like address book management, file transfer, and session recording available.

However, users frequently report instability during extended sessions; performance can degrade over time, and file transfers may slow considerably compared to competitors. While its free version is generous for personal use, professional users often find the performance ceiling limits its suitability for continuous, demanding workloads. DeskIn, by contrast, maintains consistent performance even during extended use, making it better suited for professional workloads.

RDP Alternative RustDesk

RustDesk has emerged as a leading open‑source remote desktop alternative, appealing to developers and organizations that require full control over their data. It allows users to self‑host the relay and rendezvous servers, meaning no third‑party infrastructure handles connection metadata. Built with Rust, it offers a modern codebase with cross‑platform clients (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) and supports essential features such as file transfer, TCP tunneling, and customizable address books.

The major barrier is its complexity: deploying a self‑hosted environment requires technical expertise to configure firewalls, SSL certificates, and ongoing server maintenance. For those using the public relay, performance can be inconsistent depending on server load and geographic proximity.

5. Remmina – Best Linux RDP Alternative

Pros

  • Open-source and free

  • Supports multiple protocols including RDP and VNC

  • Lightweight and flexible

  • Native to Linux environments

Cons

  • Limited features compared to modern tools

  • UI can feel outdated

Best for: Linux users looking for a traditional RDP alternative Linux

RDP Alternative Remmina

Remmina is a beloved open‑source remote desktop client for Linux, supporting multiple protocols (RDP, VNC, SSH, SPICE, and others) in a single unified interface. It is frequently chosen by system administrators and Linux enthusiasts who need a flexible, lightweight tool to manage diverse environments. Remmina offers tabbed sessions, quick‑connect profiles, and a plugin system that extends its capabilities.

However, its strength - protocol flexibility, also highlights its limitations. As a frontend client rather than a full remote access solution, it lacks features like unattended access, centralized account management, or robust session recording out of the box. Performance can vary by protocol, and the user experience lags behind more polished commercial tools, particularly for users seeking a plug‑and‑play setup.

6. Chrome Remote Desktop – Best Free and Simple Option

Pros

  • Free and easy to use

  • Browser-based setup

  • Cross-platform access

Cons

  • Very limited features

  • No advanced management tools

Best for: Casual users needing basic remote access

RDP Alternative Chrome Remote Desktop

Chrome Remote Desktop is a free, browser‑based remote access tool from Google that requires nothing more than a Chrome browser and a Google account. It excels in simplicity: installation takes seconds, and connections are mediated through Google's infrastructure, eliminating complex firewall configurations. For occasional use—such as helping a family member or quickly accessing a home computer—it works reliably across Windows, macOS, Linux, and even ChromeOS.

The trade‑off is its minimal feature set. There is no native file transfer, multi‑session management, remote printing, or granular permission controls. Collaboration tools are absent, and the reliance on a Google account for authentication can be a limitation in professional environments. It remains a convenient entry‑level tool but struggles to meet the needs of power users or IT teams.

7. Splashtop – Best for High-Performance Business Use

Pros

  • High-quality streaming performance

  • Strong security features

  • Good for business environments

  • Reliable connections

Cons

  • Subscription-based pricing

  • Limited free version

Best for: Businesses needing performance-focused remote access

RDP Alternative Splashtop

Splashtop is a high‑performance remote desktop solution frequently adopted by creative professionals, educational institutions, and enterprises that prioritize fluid interaction. It delivers low‑latency streaming with support for high‑frame‑rate displays, making it suitable for video editing, CAD work, and other graphics‑intensive tasks. Splashtop offers a range of editions—from Business Access to SOS for on‑demand support—all of which include robust security (AES‑256, device authentication) and features like file transfer, remote printing, and multi‑monitor navigation. Its performance over local networks and the internet is consistently praised.

The primary drawback is cost: while competitive, the subscription model can accumulate quickly for users needing access to multiple devices or advanced features, especially when compared to similarly capable tools with more flexible pricing structures. DeskIn offers similar performance benefits with a more flexible pricing structure, making it a compelling alternative.

Top 6 RustDesk Alternative Tools for Faster, Easier Remote Access

Remote access should feel like flipping a light switch, not decoding a control panel. Yet many users exploring RustDesk eventually run into friction: connection IDs, server setup, or occasional lag. While RustDesk is powerful, it’s not always the easiest or smoothest option, especially for non-technical users.
That’s why more people are actively searching for a reliable RustDesk alternative that combines performance, simplicity, and flexibility. Whether you want a plug-and-play solution or something more advanced, this guide will help you find the best fit.


Why You Need a RustDesk Alternative (and How to Choose One)

RustDesk stands out as a privacy-friendly, self-hosted remote desktop tool. However, real-world usage reveals a few common challenges:

  • Complicated setup for the RustDesk self-hosted environments

  • Manual connection steps requiring IDs and passwords

  • Occasional latency or unstable connections

  • Limited user-friendly features out of the box

For many users, especially those helping family or managing multiple devices, simplicity matters just as much as control.

How to Choose the Right RustDesk Alternative

When evaluating a RustDesk alternative, focus on these key factors:

  • Ease of use: Quick setup without technical overhead

  • Performance: Smooth, low-latency remote sessions

  • Compatibility: Support for Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile

  • Security: Strong encryption and access controls

  • Basic feature set

Best for: Users looking for a simple, free RustDesk alternative

RustDesk Alternative DWService

However, performance often feels sluggish, especially on demanding tasks, and features remain basic; lacking session recording, smooth multi-monitor support, or advanced security controls. While suitable for occasional personal use, it falls short for professional or high-performance scenarios.

6. Chrome Remote Desktop – Best Simple Remote Access Tool

Pros

  • Free and easy to use

  • Browser-based setup

  • Cross-platform compatibility

Cons

  • Very limited features

  • No advanced management or collaboration tools
