For people who use multiple computers (the most common combination is laptop + desktop PC) at the same time, you have to change to use a different mouse and keyboard every time you switch from one computer to another, which makes work very inefficient and people feel tired! In this case, in addition to paid software like Synergy can solve the problem, there is also free (for non-commercial use only) application like Input Director can help you.
Input Director allows you to control multiple computers (for Windows only) with a single pair of keyboard and mouse, thus greatly increasing your efficiency in using the computer while reducing the device expenses and freeing up the desktop space. It works in a pattern similar to Synergy. Both of them divide computers into Master (control end) and Slave (controlled end) these two parts. The user only needs to install Input Director on each machine, then set one as Master and the other as Slave. Of course, the premise is that all computers need to be on the same LAN.
Input Director also provides some other useful features, such as support for sharing clipboards between multiple computers, support for custom macros and key bindings, support for multiple monitors, support for data transmission encryption, support for simultaneous transmission of keyboard and mouse actions to multiple computers, support for opening native files on other computers, and so on. Unfortunately, it does not support drag & drop file transfer, only allows to copy/paste files that are already shared on the LAN.
// Key Features //
Easy to Use
Easy to follow installation and usage guides – setup only takes a few minutes
Tell Input Director how your monitors are positioned simply by dragging them to the correct spot on the monitor grid
Multi-monitor support
Shared Clipboard – copy and paste between computers (including files!)
Compatible with Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7
Only Input Director ensures the cursor remains visible and correct if the mouse is disconnected on a Windows 10 system
Transitioning control to another computer is as simple as moving your cursor off the screen on one computer for it to jump to the other
Able to control a computer without needing to login to it first
Supports Windows fast user switching
Compatible with Windows User Account Control pop-ups
Manage all your computers at once
Simultaneously lock all computers
Import/Export Input Director configuration and apply configuration updates from the command line
Synchronize screensavers across your computers
Synchronize shutdown of your system (or individually configure whether a computer goes to standby, hibernate or shuts down)
Wake systems over the network
Security
Encrypt network data between Input Director controlled computers
Lock down the Input Director configuration so that only System Administrators may make changes
Systems can limit which systems can control them by host name, ip address or network subnet
Transition Features
Ripples surround the cursor for a few seconds after transitioning to help the eye follow the cursor from one computer to another:
Transitioning using the mouse can be setup to occur:
Immediately when the cursor hits the edge of the screen
If the screen edge is double tapped by the cursor
If the cursor momentarily pauses at the edge of the screen
Can be configured to limit transitions near the corners of computer monitors to avoid accidental slippage between systems
Can also set a key (or keys) that must be held down to permit transitions between systems
Hotkeys can be setup to switch control to a specific computer or move to the next computer to the left or right
Keyboard and Mouse Features
Choose to use your mouse (speed, button order) preferences when directing another system
Supports different keyboard layouts
The keyboard LEDs (Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock) reflect the status of the computer being controlled
Mirror input – Broadcast mouse gestures and/or keyboard input to all computers simultaneously
Keyboard macros – record a sequence of keystrokes that can then be run by hotkey. Macros can be broadcast to all computers, played on the system being controlled, or tied to a particular computer
Key bindings – permanently bind a key to another key on a specified system
More features…
A semi-transparent information window can be overlaid on any (or all) systems, pointing to the system currently being controlled.
With the click of a check box a system can temporarily be skipped
On startup a system will inform other Input Director systems that they are available
Systems inform related Input Director systems when they’re about to be shutdown or rebooted and the Director system will automatically skip them when navigating between computers

You may have discovered that AppNee has hardly been updated in recent months, and the missing download links in many posts cannot be repaired. The reason is that our 2TB hard drive is physically dead (the data on it cannot be recovered with a normal recovery), and everything about our website is stored on it (the source code of website and software projects, especially all released and reserved versions of software – many of them are out of print, and you can’t find and download them anywhere except AppNee on the entire Internet).
In an effort to make up as much of the loss as possible, until recently we were able to revert updates to some smaller apps. Later, we will try to restore all software updates if possible, but we still can’t fix any older versions of software – because this data disaster is the worst in the past 10 years, there is any backup.

Since advertising revenue can no longer offset the expenditure of VPS and bandwidth, AppNee finally decided to block ad-block plugins since August; if the result is not as expected, we may manually block all users who are blocking AppNee’s ads according to the server log.
It’s a pity to do so, but this website has reached an unsustainable bottom line. If you can’t accept it, please switch to other similar websites that can be found everywhere on the Internet. In addition, to block appnee.com, you can use hosts or firewall.
