How would I accomplish this?
#1
I have been searching for a while for a way to do this and have not had much luck.

Basically I need to control the mouse on multiple computers in a LAN with my computer mouse. I need each computer to have its own mouse cursor and I need to be able to make sure each one is perfectly synced up with one another. Also would be very helpful to have a quick disable button so I can use one of the cursors individually.

Here is a diagram to help explain what I need. Thanks

Use a KVM switch:

Thanks for the reply. A hardware option would be a last resort. I really want software.

All of the programs I have come across only feature one cursor which you move to the different screens. I need a cursor for each screen moving with the master pc mouse

Would it be like "Desktop Mirroring" given here ?

Thanks for the reply but still not what I need. I don't need a mirror of my desktop. I need them all separate. Not remote desktop or anything like that. plus I think the above programs use only one mouse cursor

ETC1337, I confess I do not understand the requirement. :-)
Maybe someone here understands.
Could you elaborate ? Perhaps a usage scenario ?
Call the PCs M (master), A,B,C etc.

ShareMouse is a KVM alternative.

Download ShareMouse portable from HERE.

I found it on a file sharing site so can't vouch for it's functionality. VirusTotal gave it a clean bill of health and it ran sandboxed without any isssues.

A free alternative (licensed for personal non-commercial use only), which would be the one i'd go for is Input Director.

Hope this sorts things out for you Wink

Thanks but all these programs do is allow you to drag one mouse from one monitor to the next

Looks like I have found a solution. It's called multiboxing when you "broadcast" keyboard/mouse imputs. Looks like synergy(with modification) and Multibox can be used to do this.

Here is a guy "multiboxing" to the extreme to play multiple EVE accounts lol
