#SHAREMOUSE ERROR LAG SOFTWARE#
The rise of KVM software is one reason why you no longer need a dedicated KVM switch! You can control your desktop and laptop from a single keyboard and mouse, turning your laptop into a second monitor.
#SHAREMOUSE ERROR LAG INSTALL#
You install the software on your desktop and your laptop, and the local network creates a bridge between both devices. To use your laptop as a second monitor, you need KVM software.
For instance, back in the day, you might have had to turn a switch to connect your system to a printer. A KVM switch is a physical switch you can turn to switch your system to another network. In that situation, you need to use a KVM switch. What about if you don't have the right cable? So you can plug a monitor in and use the laptop on both screens. It's likely your laptop only features an outgoing VGA, DVI, or HDMI cable. Using a second monitor can boost your productivity by giving you the extra screen real estate you need.Ĭreating a multi-monitor setup with a laptop is a one-way process. Your doctor might use a second monitor for notes and another for diagnoses. Multi-monitor systems are relatively common. Here's how you can use your laptop as an external monitor!Ĭan You Use a Laptop as a Second Monitor? If you don't have an extra monitor but have an extra laptop, you can repurpose the laptop as a sort of second screen. A multi-monitor setup also looks cool, plus you can use the extra screen as a media display when not in use. No more having to prioritize which window goes on top.
I'll have to play with Karabiner and see what I can get them to do, but at least scrolling works on the mini again.Using an extra monitor for work is a fantastic productivity boost-no more split-screen action between Microsoft Word and Chrome. I turned off the Karabiner setting I had created, and scrolling now correctly works vertically.except the thumb buttons do nothing, since LCC was handling the functions of those buttons. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I tried uninstalling the Logitech Control Center software and after rebooting, scrolling was back to horizontal on the mini.

I then tried installed Karabiner on the host Mac Pro and created a custom bit that got the scroll wheel going vertically on the mini, but it was like scrolling through molasses. (It's a two-way wheel that does not tilt side-to-side, so it should always be scrolling vertically.) I did, however, figure out that the scroll wheel is working - it's just scrolling horizontally instead of vertically. Any ideas? Or alternatives to Sharemouse? (My "free maintenance" time is up and I would have to purchase another license to get an updated version, and I don't like that they want $50 instead of $20 just because I have three monitors.)Īfter trying a bunch of tools to modify the scroll wheel's behavior, such as Karabiner and BetterTouchTool, with no change, I realized that the way Sharemouse controls the "remote" computer (mini) is through Accessibility, and so probably doesn't fire the normal events for those applications to catch and modify, therefore I'd probably need to adjust the events that were actually firing on the host computer before Sharemouse intercepted them and passed them to the remote computer. I tried plugging the USB receiver directly into a USB port on the computer, instead of into the keyboard, but that didn't make any difference. I tried installing the Logitech Control Center software on the mini, but since the USB receiver isn't actually plugged into that computer, it doesn't even recognize that a Logitech mouse is "attached" to it. Everything else with the keyboard and mouse still works. Since changing mice, the mouse's scroll wheel no longer works on the "remote" mini (neither do the new thumb buttons, but I can live without those). I use Sharemouse v2.0.53 to virtually share the mouse and keyboard between the Pro and a 2012 Mac mini. I recently changed from a wired Logitech Trackman Wheel to a wireless Logitech M570 Trackball (which has a USB receiver plugged into the USB port on an Apple wired keyboard) that is physically plugged into an early 2009 Mac Pro.
