Input Director Review

Recommended: Click here to improve PC speed »

Input Director is designed for those folks that have two (or more) Windows systems set up at home. Using Input Director, you can position the monitors of your systems side-by-side and then control all of them via one keyboard/mouse. To transition which system you're controlling is as simple as moving the cursor off the screen on one system and it'll pop up on the next screen (similar to a multi-monitor setup) or via a hotkey combo.

Input Director also lets you share clipboard contents, so you can copy from one machine, switch over to another and then paste. This also works for files that are in network shared directories.

New features include:
* New transition option: Double-tap on the edge of a screen to transition
* New transition option: The cursor must linger at the edge of ascreen to transition
* New transition option: No transitions occur in close proximity to the corners of a screen
* Can suppress warnings about clipboard pastes, different versions of ID and slave unavailabilities
* Supports using the master's keyboard layout when controlling a slave
* Option to limit changes to Input Director's configuration to local adminstrators only
* Automatic startup of Input Director can be set for all users or just specific users
* Can default all slaves to skip on startup to avoid transitions to unavailable slaves
* Can copy files to the clipboard that are located on network shares mounted on the source system
* Can be set to remember whether screen-edges should be enabled or disabled on startup
* Installer no longer warns about installing to incompatible O/S on Windows 2008 and Windows 7
* Installer now correctly adds Input Director firewall rules on Windows 2008 and Windows 7
* Slaves can be upgraded "hands-free" for those systems without keyboard/mouses attached
* New Re-scan slave systems option from the "ID" icon's right-click context menu
* Various minor bug fixes and improvements

* New transition options: Double-tap, linger, dead corners
* Suppress warnings about clipboard pastes, different versions of ID and slave unavailabilities
* Use the Masters keyboard layout
* Limit config changes to administrators
* "Hands-free" upgrade mode for Slaves
