Share keyboard and mouse between two Windows computers

Using two or more Windows computers in a space is not that unusual. For example, you may have a laptop and a desktop with which you work at the same office. The requirement to change your keyboard and mouse every time you change your computer can be a bit tedious process. But there is a solution to this with Mouse Without Borders.

Windows

Mouse Without Borders lets you handle two to four Windows computers with the same keyboard and mouse and without course having to move cables or other hardware hardware. Of course, Mouse Without Borders lets you easily exchange files, folders, text, and so on, between your computers, almost like drag and drop or copy and paste.

This software comes in by Microsoft Garage and can run on Windows 7 and above. It's free, you can access it, download it and install it on at least two computers.

But, let's see how you can configure and work with Mouse Without Borders. After installation, look for the program in your computer menu and run it. Once opened it starts with the question if you have already installed the program on another computer and, if this is your first computer you start answer "No".

If you are running this program on the second computer again then say "Yes".

Once you select "No" then the program will take you to the next step the program will display a security code along with the name of your computer. Make a note of why you will need it for the next step.

Now, go to the second computer, run the program, say "Yes" to the first question and then enter the security code and name of your first computer in the corresponding fields, and click the "Link" button to continue.

If the connection is successful, the software will inform you on both of your computer screens. Just click "Next" on both computers to continue.

Now click the Done button to complete the installation process.

From now on, you can use the same keyboard and mouse that you have either wired or wirelessly connected to your host computer to operate your second computer. All you have to do is move your mouse to the right edge of your screen, and it should now be transferred to the second computer. There you can use the same mouse and keyboard to control the system. The good thing about it is that you can share the files, folders and so on paste plain text between computers as if you were transferring data from one window to another on a single computer.

In addition, the software will show you the configuration details once the installation is complete, where you can modify them as you like.

Από προεπιλογή, το λογισμικό υποθέτει ότι ο δεύτερος υπολογιστής είναι στη δεξιά πλευρά του κύριου υπολογιστή. Αν δεύτερο υπολογιστή σας είναι στην αριστερή πλευρά, μπορείτε απλά να μεταφέρετε την of the screens to match their physical positioning.

If the two computers are placed on top of each other (perhaps on a different rack for example), then select the “Two Row” check box. This option changes the layout so that you can match the setting with the physical layout of your systems.

Mouse Without Borders has been preconfigured well with your computer. There is no need to change the settings unless you know what you are doing. In general, you can access the settings panel by going to the 'Other Options' tab in the main window. If you want to be able to use the projected keyboard shortcuts to perform quick tasks. Fast tasks include switching between machines, locking all boxes at once, taking snapshots of connected systems, etc.

As you can see, Mouse Without Borders is a very useful software if you have multiple Windows computers. You cannot use it with another computer running Linux or Mac, and its use is limited to four computers.
