Comment summary: ShareMouse is praised for its ease of setup and reliable cross-platform performance, particularly between Mac and Windows, making it a popular choice over alternatives like Synergy.

Effortless setup, easy operation but major bug in the monitor layout page, and it's NOT free if you have an extra monitor, started nagging two days later... And it's $80 for a license, get real!

Can be used without home network being set up. I could see it working, but for some reason I couldn't get the mouse pointer to show on the alternate screen.. it just ghosted. I think the mouse pointer is a demo feature.. well then this is not software to use for free. If you don't want to be nagged right away, turn off all the demo settings.

How the EFFING, do you consider requiring a PRO License for HIGHER PRICE than a Windows 10 license?!?!? Also, HOW THE F do you control 2 PCs with ONE SCREEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

of course, ShareMouse Standard Edition supports TWO screens (one per computer) or more in Professional Edition ($58.-)

very interesting product but I don't understand how $58 (Jan 2023) becomes 91,46€ (Sept 2024) ... or maybe I'm just not getting it?

Works great unless you have more than 1 screen per PC. If you have more than 1 screen per PC it is $130/year.

ShareMouse is not a subscription (please check the bold print at https://www.sharemouse.com/shop/) and cost $58 one-time payment.

I have owned synergy for 4 years have yet to have it work out of the box. It's always a half hour to get it to work then you just have to not touch it once it does. It's beyond frustrating because I WORK IN TECH. I have 3 monitors, and a laptop. Sharemouse worked INSTANTLY out of the box. It's worth every penny. I would happily pay for something that just works at this point. Literally made this account just to say this. Sharemouse is the kind

What is ShareMouse?

Move the mouse to the monitor of the computer you wish to control and the pointer magically jumps to that computer. Any mouse and keyboard input is transmitted to the corresponding computer.

Similar to a network KVM, ShareMouse transmits mouse movements and clicks through the local LAN. All traffic can be password-protected and AES encrypted.

To switch between computers, there is no additional hardware or press of a button required.

Similar to a keyboard switch, you can seamlessly operate multiple computers on your desk from any mouse and keyboard.
