I would have been happy to pay something for ShareMouse, because it really is good. And when there's so much great stuff in the App Store for $4.99. But I still wasn't ready to part with my $50 for this little utility when the price point in my head was $0.

It's easy to set up, it runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux together, there's a portable version, you can drag files across machines, etc.

He peppered me with reasons that ShareMouse is better than any other paid or free mouse-sharing solution. I thought, "making it up in volume" was a sound tactic.īartels was not convinced. My thinking was conventional: if incremental cost for each unit sold is zero, one can make more money by getting as many people as possible to buy a product, by removing price as a barrier to sales. I was pretty sure that he'd make a lot more money by pricing the utility "fairly," as I said, and making it an impulse purchase.

I e-mailed Gunnar Bartels, the general manager of ShareMouse in Germany.

My app upgraded to the shipping version, and I got a message that I need to pay to use it in my "professional" setting. The ShareMouse beta period ended a few days after I started using the app. It does more than Synergy, it's much easier to set up, and is better in every way. I installed it on my machines and had it running in moments, with no tears. Fortunately, I discovered an alternative, ShareMouse.

Setting up this free, open-source app is a black art, and when CBS replaced my PC with a MacBook, giving me two-Mac setup (which, I admit, is extravagant), I couldn't get Synergy to work anymore. It was a great setup.īut all good things come to an end. It allows you to use one keyboard and mouse on multiple computers: as you drag your mouse pointer off the side of one screen, it appears on the neighboring computer's screen, and keyboard focus changes too.įor years, I used Synergy to allow the keyboard and mouse on the Windows PC that my employer owns to control my personal Macbook when I parked it on my desk at work. If you use more than one computer at a time, as I do, maybe you know of the utility called Synergy. Now I can reproduce it I know it's not random.If the cool automatic monitor and computer location algorithm gets things wrong, you can easily tell ShareMouse where each screen and computer is.
