Share your Mouse, Keyboard, Windows, Clipboard and file transfers with other computers like your old laptop. Real KVM actually makes you share the screen of your other computer and has much higher data transfer rates than similar programs.
The mouse cursor moves seamless from one computer to the other, keyboard input follows the mouse focus and clipboard data will follow as well. With a simple hotkey you can move one window to the next screen.
Connecting 2 or 3 computers.
First you need to assign a server role to one computer and a client role to the others.
Moving the mouse between the computers.
Now you need to specify on which side each computer is so you can smoothly move the mouse cursor between the 2 or 3 screens. To avoid accidentally moving the cursor to the other screen only the centre of the left and right border acts as a portal to the other screen, you can specify how big this area is.
To make it obvious on which computer you are working the inactive screen can be greyed out. The amount of grey you can also specify. Also the keyboard input will follow where the mouse is.
Sharing the clipboard and transferring files.
When you move the mouse to the other computer also the clipboard contents will be transferred to the other computer. To avoid accidental long clipboard transfers the maximum amount of clipboard data that can be transferred can be specified.
When you have copied files or folders in the clipboard then when you switch to the other computer immediately a save dialog box will appear allowing you to select the destination folder.
Sharing windows.
In the Pro version it is possible to display a program window on the screen of the other computer. For this you will need to specify the hotkey for either moving it to the left screen or the right screen.
Press the hotkey while you have the specific window active and it will appear on the other screen. It will be scaled correctly according to screen size and resolution.

Comments and Reviews
It really makes the use of 2 or 3 computers togetehr seamless. The dummy video adpater option for the desktop fushion edition is brilliant.
Of all the KVM software apps I tried this one is the most smooth in usage. No network interruptions and sharing windows between computers is also very handy
Great to make my old laptop useful again, I get more things done by using 2 computers at the same time
Only KVM software that alllows sharing windows
