All happens without any user’s interactive. It effortlessly detects any of the computers that have ShareMouse running and automatically senses what the monitor layout would be. One of the beauty of this tool is its configuration-free monitor layout sensing feature. It works fine on all form factors that run either Windows XP/Vista/7, both 32-bit and 64-bit, or Mac OSX Snow Leopard/Lion. ShareMouse is a completely free tool that also offers a portable version for both Windows and Mac, which comes very handy. There is also no limitation how many computers and monitors are going to sharing. Not like Mouse Without Board that only works between Windows systems, ShareMouse also works on a hybrid network that contains both Windows and Mac OSX systems. ShareMouse is another feature rich tool that shares one set of keyboard and mouse across multiple computers on the same network. Once it’s there you can not only use your mouse to control the MacBook, but your keyboard will work with it as well.We have covered a couple of nice keyboard-mouse sharing tools before, Synergy and more lately the Mouse Without Board. After a very short delay (accompanied by a bit of animation) the cursor will appear on the MacBook’s display. To control your laptop, just drag the cursor to the left side of the screen. Then, within the Teleport preference pane (which you access via System Preferences), choose a layout for your computers-your laptop on the left and your iMac on the right, fo instance. Simply install it on each Mac and choose one Mac to serve as the host (meaning its input peripherals will be used to control any linked Macs). I have had luck, however, with Abyssoft’s donation-ware SynergyKM-but I’ve had no luck making them work with a Mac running Lion. A couple of applications that serve as GUI front ends to Synergy have been released. In its native state it requires some Terminal mucking. This allows you to share a keyboard and mouse not only with another Mac but also Windows and Linux boxes.
