The Final Verdict:
Mouse without Borders is a powerful system utility that uses your internet connection to connect up to 4 computers and allows you to control multiple computers using a single mouse and keyboard. As the name suggests, it removes the boundary line of the screen of your system and makes your mouse move beyond borders. Not only you can use the same mouse on all the connected systems, but also use the same keyboard to work with different systems. The only thing you need to take care of is the location of your mouse pointer. Since your keyboard will work on that PC only on which the mouse pointer is currently appearing.
I would like to clarify one thing here that if you are looking for a software to access PC at a remote location, then this is not an option. It let’s you control another system, but that system has to be near your own system so that you can view the transfer of files or access of files or applications on another system.
