Input Director

control multiple PCs with one keyboard

Our Rating: (Excellent)

Input Director enables you to share a single mouse and keyboard (and clipboard) with multiple other computers as long as they are connected via a network. You can simply move your mouse to the edge of your main screen to enter the screen of other computers to the left or right of you, or use a keyboard hotkey to move control from one computer to the other. While your cursor is active on the other PC`s desktop, you can control it with your main mouse and keyboard - simply move the cursor back to your main screen to switch control. Input Director supports multiple computers, even if they use more than one monitor each. The program is easy to configure, simply install it on each computer that you want to control, designate one as the master and the others as slaves. A variety of additional settings allows you to set access control, configure keyboard and mouse behavior.
