Pluralinput

Pluralinput is a lightweight piece of software designed to help you attach multiple keyboards and mice to your computer that you can manage collaboratively or independently.

The setup is quick, uneventful and does not require too much attention from your part. Upon launch, you are welcomed by a dashboard-like interface that enables you to configure the keyboards or mice that you want to attach.

It is important to note that the tool only supports external devices that can be connected via the USB cable to the computer. The application does not work with integrated keyboards or trackpads, such as those specific to laptops, for instance.

Simply put, unless the keyboard or mouse is an external device, it does not show up in the list from the configuration window. As indicated in the interface, you can identify the devices easily by pressing any key as the app displays the entry that it corresponds to.

A noteworthy feature is that you can enable a remote server via the application and control additional cursors. The details regarding the port and password are indicating in the Remote Server tab and, after you enter them in the dedicated fields, you are required to restart the program for the changes to take effect.

For your enhance convenience, it is recommended that you leave at least one mouse and keyboard unmodified during the configuration process. This way you can be sure that you can keep using the computer and undo changes, in case something goes wrong.

Regardless of whether you are ambidextrous, you need to use your non-dominant hand to control the mouse or you need to attach multiple keyboards so the PC can be operated by multiple users at the same time, Pluralinput could come in handy.
