Suspicious, I went to ShareMouse’s website and started combing through the FAQs, where I found this:
And after going through the motions of uninstalling and re-installing, I still got the same error message upon trying to launch the program. I got an error message telling me the “beta” trial period has expired, and to continue using ShareMouse I would have to “download the latest version.” Which, of course, I did. The “free” version of ShareMouse worked great-except for the fact that it inexplicably stopped working altogether for me after only two weeks. It also allows for convenient drag-and-drop file sharing between connected computers that have ShareMouse installed.
#SHAREMOUSE ALTERNATIVE FOR MAC INSTALL#
You install it on each computer you want to control, designate which computer is the server (the one controlling the others), then adjust settings to configure your monitor arrangement. ShareMouse uses your existing local area network connection to transmit keyboard input and mouse cursor movements between multiple computers. To try to remedy the situation, I first found and installed a “freeware” program called ShareMouse. (*Yes, that’s my nerdy triple Hunger Games wallpaper you’re seeing) ShareMouse (Feel free to skip ahead if you just want to know which one is better, in my humble opinion.) In my efforts to find an easier solution, I recently had the opportunity to try both ShareMouse and Mouse Without Borders. Having three screens* to contend with, switching between two sets of keyboards and mice just doesn’t cut it. I recently reconfigured my desk into a multi-workstation setup, using both my laptop and desktop side-by-side, plus an extra monitor.
