Lan Mouse

Lan Mouse is a straightforward utility designed to help you control multiple computers using a single mouse and keyboard over a local network. In other words, the tool enables you to handle multiple devices at the same time using the same peripherals.

The main role of the application is to eliminate all the hassle associated with switching between physical keyboards and mice when working with multiple computers. Since the devices are connected in the same network, you can now navigate and control your desktop, laptop and other device with the same set of peripherals.

As far as the interface goes, this is a CLI tool and hence, you need to have some basic knowledge of commands to get around. Moreover, you need to create and possibly edit the configuration file to start the service. You have an example configuration file on the home page to get you started here.

According to the developer, a GTF frontend will pop up once you got the app service is running, and you can add new connections from here. In the eventuality that you cannot move the mouse to a new device, then make sure to check that the corresponding port is opened in your firewall.
