  1. Mouse Without Borders PowerToys - How to activate shared clipboard while in service mode


    Hi,I'm successfully using MWB with 3 computers. In my setup, I need the service mode to be activated to be able to login using the keyboard and mouse of my main computer at startup. However, I've noticed that enabling the service mode, "disables" the copy/paste feature inter-computers. Anyone has a workaround to activate the shared clipboard while service mode is enabled?

    :)

    Hi,

    R. Cord here, Independent Expert. Hope you are doing well.

    Yes, it is possible to turn off keyboard sharing in Mouse Without Borders when you want to use dedicated keyboards on both computers.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    Open the Mouse Without Borders settings on the primary computer by right-clicking the Mouse Without Borders icon in the system tray and selecting "Settings."

    Click on the "General" tab.

    Under the "Keyboard and Clipboard" section, uncheck the box next to "Share keyboard."

    Click "OK" to save your changes.

    Once you've turned off keyboard sharing, each computer will use its own dedicated keyboard, even when Mouse Without Borders is active. Note that you will still be able to use the Mouse Without Borders software to control both computers with a single mouse, even if you're using separate keyboards.

    Regards,

    R. Cord

    Hi Gothicsurf,

    Unfortunately, the "Share Keyboard" option is not available in Mouse Without Borders. Mouse Without Borders only allows you to share your mouse and clipboard between multiple computers running Windows 10, 8.1, 8, or 7.

    If you need to share your keyboard between multiple computers, you may want to consider using a different software, such as Synergy or ShareMouse. These software programs allow you to share your keyboard, mouse, and clipboard between multiple computers running different operating systems.

    Regards,

    R. Cord

    Mouse without borders clipboard


    I have mouse without borders connecting 2 computers (laptop and desktop) both running Windows 10 64bit. The desktop has 2 identical monitors. I also run clipmate, a clipboard program on both machines. When I copy something to the clipboard on one machine it does not copy to the other machine. Occasionally this function works perfectly and then it stops working. This issue happens with clipmate closed as well. I have tried running clipmate in comparability mode with no results. I have tried programs similar Mouse without Borders with no results. Microsoft support is no help. Nobody seems to know what the answer is.
