Operate LG G2 phone from Desktop

Question

My LG G2's screen just got a chip in it, and consequently only the top 1/4 of the screen will register touch.



The phone is not rooted, but I have developer options and USB debugging activated. Is there any way I can mirror the phone on a PC or Mac? (I prefer Mac, but have access to Windows 8 as well.) I'm talking about full control with keyboard and mouse.



I just want to know if I can hobble through until the new Nexus comes out and I can finally be rid of this old phone.

Answer

Try Vysor first. As long as USB debugging is on you shouldn't even need to do anything on the phone to get it running. Mouse simulates touch while keyboard input is passed through. If you don't type in English then input method support might be a bit clumsy.
