Last but not least, there is now an option to configure ShareMouse in networks with blocked UDP ports. It uses AES encryption now automatically, data transfers are more reliable and faster, and lag has been reduced when the program is used to switch between monitors.Ĭommercial users benefit from an infinite loop concept that connects the left side of the first monitor with the right side of the last monitor in the chain to quickly switch between those two monitors. The improved net code improves the network performance of the program. This means that different sized monitors can no longer cause issues when using the program to switch between them. One great new feature is the ability to take different monitor dimensions into account automatically. While that is the case, you may still want to check the preferences to modify them to better fit your requirements.įor instance, you may want to enable a key modifier to avoid accidentally moving the mouse to the other monitor.Īs far as changes in version 3.0 of ShareMouse are concerned, there are several that deserve closer inspection. The program works out of the box once you run it and does not require configuration. ShareMouse is offered as a free and commercial version that work fundamentally the same. We have reviewed ShareMouse twice before here on Ghacks, first back in 2012 and then when version 2 was released in 2013. There is Microsoft’s Mouse without Borders and Stardock’s Multiplicity which offer similar functionality. It is not the only program that offers the functionality. The only requirement is that you run the software on the devices you want to control with a single mouse and that is about it. ShareMouse has been designed to make that happen, at least when it comes to the mouse. If you work on two computer systems side by side, and it does not matter if its a desktop system and laptop, a tablet, or even a system running another operating system, then you have to use different input types connected to those devices.įor instance, you cannot just use the keyboard connected to one PC on another, or the mouse to control elements on the second computer’s monitor.

The new version introduces support for Windows 10 and Apple OSX El Capitan, improved network code and more. ShareMouse 3, a program to control multiple computer systems with a single mouse, has been updated recently to version 3.
