Mouse Without Borders

The Issue:

Setting up a new computer. Both are laptops and only one external mouse. Switching between computers is inefficient.

Solution:

Mouse Without Borders allows you to connect up to 4 computers and share keyboard and mouse between them. Imagine you took your KVM switch and crashed it into a multi-monitor setup, sort of.

Using Mouse Without Borders I was able to work on my primary computer while installing software on the new computer, easily keeps notes of progress. Greatly increased productivity.

Mouse Without Borders is free.

Mouse Without Borders only works on Windows. :-(

Synergy is a paid program which does the same thing as Mouse Without Borders and it cross platform (Windows, Linux, Mac).

Mouse Without Borders is a Microsoft Garage project. Microsoft Garage is a program which allows Microsoft employees to pursue projects they are passionate about whether or not it is related to their primary work or not. Microsoft Garage is the source of a lot of small and interesting applications and programs.
