How would I accomplish this? - ETC1337 - Jun 27, 2014

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 ?

RE: How would I accomplish this? - ETC1337 - Jun 27, 2014

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


RE: How would I accomplish this? - ETC1337 - Jun 27, 2014

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
