About Mouse Without Borders
”Mouse Without Borders” is a great and simple freeware KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) tool that covers one too often neglected function. It employs a single mouse and keyboard for up to 4 different computers or other computing devices.
Now, one could assume that this isn’t exactly a novelty, but there’s a catch. With the Mouse Without Borders app, you can transfer files across PCs in a seamless manner as all connected devices share one clipboard.
