KVM Software

I would like to know from the one who are using software KVM, like Input Director, what they like and dislike, especially if you have performance degradation, crash and bug.

I use Input Director , it works great , the only things I don't like ( but it is not a huge issue) ,is that I forget to set it up so that when only one pc is running and my mouse drifts over the edge of the screen I get a pop up telling me "slave system "IP ADDRESS" failed to respond do you want to skip this slave". but like I said that isn't a huge issue and this happens because I have the software setup to load at boot.
the other thing is I always forget that I can only copy paste txt writing and not files from one desktop to the other, it would be great if I could copy or drag or cut and paste from one desktop to the other. I usually end up just putting the file into a folder that is part of my net work when I need files on other system.

Other then those to small issuse I have the software is great .

Do you have the lastest version, on their website they said you can :
" Shared Clipboard - copy and paste between computers (including files!)"
what about pics, can you copy and paste them ?


Kavoom have a feature to copy files , pics but the web site is not update, as they define Vista as the latest OS ,

There's also Synergy Plus. It's more common in the Linux world I suppose, but it works on Windows too.

No I haven't updated my software , just haven't got around t o it hehe,
I tried synergy but I couldn't get it to work, the reason why I tried synergy is because I am debating of going open source again well ok semi open source use Linux and as much free software as possible.
