Use mobile phone with windows 11 as desktop extender?
Is there an official way to use a mobile phone(preferably with usb connection) so the mouse can be used on my mobile phone to run it if docked with a windows 11 pc? I have it plugged into a port for power via usbc and keep wanting to move my mouse into the phone to use it. It's a 40gb usbc port so I would assume it's not a bandwidth limit. Not sure what the phones port limit is. It's a samsung galaxy a16 5g with 25 quickvolt recharging. I think it can transfer files via the port. Haven't tested this but it acts like it can.

Samsung DeX allows you to connect your Galaxy phone to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for a desktop-like experience.
While DeX itself supports connecting a mouse and keyboard (via Bluetooth or USB), it doesn't directly allow you to control your phone with your PC's mouse.
If your phone supports DeX (which might require specific hardware support), you can connect a mouse and keyboard through USB or Bluetooth directly to the phone and use it as a desktop.
