I will be sure to look into it´s features and pricing. Thanks Kevin for the info on Across Center. Or can 1 pc act as a client to BOTH my pc and my wife´s pc?

My true lack of understanding any of this will show now…Is it possible to have a pc act has a server of Sharemouse but also be a client for Sharemouse or Synergy? We have multiple pc´s in my house and I wanted both myself and wife to have dedicated pc´s with overlapping 2nd and 3rd pc´s. Not sure if Barrier allows drag/drop of folders. What about Barrier? Looks to be a fork of Synergy but with a tiny more development. Has anyone had any good/bad experience with Multiplicity? Seems like the only app that allows drag/drop/copying of not only files but folders as well. Is Multiplicity all hype? The reviews I have read and/or watched on Youtube has it edging out slightly higher than Sharemouse according to features, stability and ease of use. I am surprised that there has not been any mention of Multiplicity. Thanks too, for all the replies from many helpful techs and wanna be´s like me.

Your information and followup has been exceptional. Thank you Duck for this wonderful overview of both Synergy and Sharemouse. My interest is to put the iMac in a corner and mainly ignore it unless I’m testing my web-site for compatibility in the various browsers on each machine, so other than logins, I’m hoping to control both computers from the PC. The iMac requires that a mouse be connected to it in order to fully boot-up and login, but neither Synergy nor Sharemouse would have started at this time, so how would this work if both the PC and iMac were just starting up? I saw that there is a switch key that is assigned to the keyboard that will switch between the two computers, presumably so the PC can take control of the iMac and then switch back to itself, if it is the master. I’m not using a wireless keyboard, so in both computers get their own keyboard inputs. The dongles are not addressable, so both computers simultaneously get the same inputs. My situation may be a little different because I’m interested in using a LogiTech TrackBall mouse device attached to a Windows 10 notebook computer with a Universal USB (UUSB) wireless dongle and an iMac, also using the UUSB dongle.

I was looking at Sharemouse, and then found out about Synergy, buy haven’t tried/bought either, yet.
