This appears to be simple to use. It can be used with all Windows programs. It has received a 4 star rating. The use of this system is free if one wants to use it for a non-commercial purpose. If you are using more than one computer, the product is said to be easy to to move between computers. I like the use of encryption.

Input Director for Windows allows you to control multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse... LEX!!!!! Is that you trying to take over the world again? I can see it clearly already, LexCorp plastered across every computer in the world as he controls and monopolizes all assets from one computer in his home. Jeez, the thought of being able to control multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse can be frightening, if you are interested in software like this I am suspicious of you as if I were not distancing myself enough already...
All jokes aside, this can make for a very convenient way of operating multiple computers at once and its absolutely free so not much to lose here by the looks of things.

This software product is really useful and easy to use. You can use it to control more than one computer from the same mouse or keyboard (that are attached to only one computer!). The part I like the most is the shared clipboard: You can copy something in one of the computers and paste it to the other one; no more unnecessary data transfer.

Input Director is the perfect solution if you have a need to manage different operating systems using one input source. With Input Director, all you need to do is place any computer monitors you have in your line of eyesight. Then you'll be able to control all of them with just a click of a mouse. You can even use just a single keyboard.

Input Director gives you control to use multiple Windows systems with your mouse and keyboard attached to only one computer. It's very simple to use. With Input Director, you can switch control between systems easily by using hotkeys or moving the cursor off the screen.It supports a shared clipboard so you can copy from one computer and paste it to another. It is a pretty good program.

Input Director is an extremely useful application to have for people who want to maximize the use of multiple computer systems. It makes it very easy for one to navigate across multiple windows systems from one computer allowing cursor movement from device t device. You can even copy and paste between the windows devices and it includes multi-monitor support, this is a must have.
