![]() $10 to $15 for unlimited use (or at least less limited use) would be more reasonable, I think. They might have had me if it was $25 for unlimited use (although even that is a bit steep), but not $25 per machine. It’s a neat feature, but not worth $50 to me. I have two computers and three monitors.) I really like this software, but since I have to buy one license per computer, and one license is $25, I’m not going to upgrade. (You can use it for free on two computers with a total of two monitors. Unfortunately, I am considered a “power-user” due to my dual monitor setup. No setup necessary.Īpparently you can use it for free if you are a “normal” user, but if it detects that you are a power user, you will have to pay for the professional version. This is a short tutorial on barrier, a simple kvm software solution to transfer your mouse and keyboard across multiple computers. I downloaded it and installed on two computers (one Dell desktop with two monitors, and one Acer netbook) and it just worked. A semi-transparent information window can be overlaid on any (or all) systems, pointing to the system currently being controlled.I don’t even need to write anything else in this post, because the title is self-explanatory.Key bindings - permanently bind a key to another key on a specified system.Macros can be broadcast to all computers, played on the system being controlled, or tied to a particular computer Keyboard macros - record a sequence of keystrokes that can then be run by hotkey.Mirror input - Broadcast mouse gestures and/or keyboard input to all computers simultaneously.Any mouse and keyboard input is transmitted to the corresponding computer' and is a popular Mouse Sharing utility in the os & utilities category. The keyboard LEDs (Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock) reflect the status of the computer being controlled ShareMouse is described as 'Move the mouse to the monitor of the computer you wish to control and the pointer magically jumps to that computer.Choose to use your mouse (speed, button order) preferences when directing another system.Hotkeys can be setup to switch control to a specific computer or move to the next computer or monitor to the left or right.Can also set a key (or keys) that must be held down to permit transitions between systems.Can be configured to limit transitions near the corners of computer monitors to avoid accidental slippage between systems.If the cursor momentarily pauses at the edge of the screen.If the screen edge is double tapped by the cursor.Immediately when the cursor hits the edge of the screen.Transitioning using the mouse can be setup to occur:.ShareMouse has 3 tiers: Free, Standard and Pro. I originally bought Synergy in early 2014 for 10USD and since then I’ve had full access to the Pro version and all updates (up until Synergy 2.0) Synergy 2.0 is in prerelease currently, but when it is released it will cost 49USD. Ripples surround the cursor for a few seconds after transitioning to help the eye follow the cursor from one computer to another: The basic version is 19USD and the Pro is 29USD.I cannot do this in Ubuntu (Better said, I do not know how and cannot find the right keyword to search for in synaptic) Any help would be appreciated. Systems can limit which systems can control them by host name, ip address or network subnet I can use my Hosts Keyboard and mouse to control it.Lock down the Input Director configuration so that only System Administrators may make changes.Encrypt network data between Input Director controlled computers. ![]()
