#### OTG

It is possible to run _scrcpy_ with only physical keyboard and mouse simulation
(HID), as if the computer keyboard and mouse were plugged directly to the device

To enable OTG mode:

```bash
scrcpy --otg
# Pass the serial if several USB devices are available
scrcpy --otg -s 0123456789abcdef
```

connected by USB, and is currently only supported on Linux.
