Input Leap is software that mimics the functionality of a KVM switch, which historically would allow you to use a single keyboard and mouse to control multiple computers by physically turning a dial on the box to switch the machine you're controlling at any given moment.

Really very different functionality. Multiplicity is for locally sharing keyboard/mouse across multiple computers. LogMeIn is remote desktop software.
LogMein is for REMOTE control /viewing/meeting etc. Multiplicity is for Local (as in, on the same desk) control/viewing etc., essentially functioning as a controller without being a viewer also. LogMeIn does not function as a controller unless you also have a view window open.
This alternative is disputed. LogMeIn Resolve is a legitimate Multiplicity alternative, but it might have issues that some users think are important.
InputShare enables you to share the keyboard and mouse of your computer with an Android device via ADB in wired / wireless way.

Works for Windows and Mac!
Because it is not the same function
It's the best not only as an alternative but as it's the only one that works without complicated settings. I loved it from the first time ..???
