Only once I started playing this game did I realize that if you have a somewhat modern Nvidia card you can pretty seamlessly stream gameplay to almost anything! It's not exactly a solution to your problem I know, just an alternative if you have a card like that.

 

I play on my Chromebook without issue, well it took a bit of messing around with things but if you're tech savvy you'll probably have less trouble than me.

 

Moonlight Game Streaming it's called!

unfortunately, since there's no touchscreen support for 3DX, you can't really rotate the camera while streaming. the developers can implement it though, so you can slide two fingers to rotate the camera (pinching only zooms the camera), so try suggesting that to one of the support topics

Ah I finally understand the problem!  (I'm dumb!)

 

Even though the graphics card streams very well to my Chromebook, like without noticeable delay or anything, the touchpad is pretty unusable!

 

So my solution was to use a wireless mouse with a trackball that's connected to the main PC running the game.  The trackball is because I often bring the laptop with me to the couch or bed, but the thing is both my bed and that couch are pretty close to my PC (small apt!) so the signal of the wireless mouse carries.  I'm not sure how far I can take it and have it still work but I don't think this would be a solution if you're trying to use it far from your main PC.

Have you tried using mouse mode on Chrome Remote Desktop?

OK, so I know this is an older topic, but wanted to weigh in since I have a ton of experience in this area.  I've been playing this game remotely now for several months.  I use Splashtop https://www.splashtop.com/and it works flawlessly, including rotations and other features.  I play on a mac laptop remotely to a PC with a solid graphics card (it is actually cloud based, but more on this some other time).  I also remote in via my iPad. The Splashtop app has some features (use Diablo 2 profile) that allow you to touch rotate and interact 100% within the game.  I have battle tested this setup and I can assure you it is 100% flawless.  

 

Splashtop is free to use on a local network and you can get a free VPN (http://hamachi.cc) that will keep this setup free.

 

Enjoy!

 

BONUS:  The SmartPhone app even let's you chat on the go.
