Jerry

Jerry is a software program that enables users to control multiple computers with a single mouse and keyboard, thus eliminating the need to switch between keyboards and mice when working across multiple computers connected to the same network.

A significant advantage of this software, as opposed to the others, lies in its accurate key press interpretation, independent of the controlling computer’s current state, keyboard layout, or mapping. It ensures error-free typing of accented characters, operates without compromising system responsiveness, and imposes no limitations on virtual desktop configuration.
