May 22, 2019 ShareMouse’s interface is nicer and there are more options like being able to change the monitor placement, and the drag-and-drop feels better and works more reliably (this was my main reason. ShareMouse can share the clipboard between multiple computers. Copy any formatted text or files into the clipboard and paste it any other computer with a single key press. Windows and Mac Cross-Platform Solution ShareMouse allows you to control a Mac from a PC. It also works the other way round and you can control a PC from a Mac.
Having spent the last few months working with Synergy, which allows me to use one keyboard and mouse for multiple computers, there were a few nagging issues with synergy that prompted me to look for an alternative.
I was having all sort of issues with the UAC, functions, whereby synergy would stop working, Even if I turned off UAC, but ran a task such as windows image backup it would still stop everytime the keyboard and mouse.
Having Read Jack Busch’s post on Sharemouse vs Synergy, I though Sharemouse would be the best option. With its additional features such as copy to clipboard from one machine to another, windows and Mac compatibility including concurrently, plus drag and drop facilities.
However, the caveat with Sharemouse is you have to pay for the pro version if you have 2 or more monitors 😦
For me, the best solution was Input Director. With many free features and it allows me up to 8 monitors per machine, which is plenty for me!
ShareMouse is a cross-platform application for Windows and Mac OS X which lets you share your mouse and keyboard across multiple computers (using the same wired or wireless network connection). It can not only be used as a replacement for Synergy, but also used instead of a KVM Switch which is a hardware device for using the same keyboard, mouse and monitor across multiple computers (hence the name KVM for keyboard, video and monitor). Back in the day I have worked with a KVM switch and I must admit that it was quite annoying to push those buttons to share hardware components between numerous servers.
While ShareMouse cannot replace the video factor of a KVM switch, it can be used for sharing the mouse and keyboard. Other factors which make ShareMouse quite handy include, the option to hide and encrypt a shared connection over a network. You can also share items across computers by dragging and dropping them to another system. ShareMouse does not require manual configuration and can be used quite easily.
To share your mouse and keyboard, install ShareMouse on at least two separate computers over the same network (virtual machines are not recommended) and go to Settings from the system tray.
To enable drag and drop of files and synchronization of clipboard (copied content), go to Data Exchange tab. From here you can set a hotkey to quickly share copied content from one computer to paste onto another system.
Make sure you select a UDE port from the Network tab for communication. You can also click Find Free Port to automatically obtain a free communication port for sharing mouse and keyboard over a network using MouseShare.
From the Security tab, you can either select the unprotected mode or enable sharing protection which restrict sharing of mouse and keyboard between computers with the same password and encrypt the sharing connection.
You can manage connected Monitors by dragging them to change their order (from Monitor Manager option accessible from system tray menu).
Summary:
Step 1. Install ShareMouse on at least two separate computers.
Sharemouse Linux
Step 2. Select a UDP port from network tab to avoid connectivity issues.
Step 3. Start using the shared keyboard and mouse
Optionally you can encrypt the connection and restrict it to systems with the same password ( as explained earlier).
