Want to Control Multiple PC with Same Mouse and Keypad than you have to try Input Director, it a free app which allows you to control multiple Windows systems using the keyboard/mouse attached to one computer. With Input Director, you can share a single keyboard/mouse across a set of systems. You switch which system receives the input either by hotkey or by moving the cursor so that it transitions from one screen to the other (in a very similar fashion to a multi-monitor setup).
Using Input Director, you will be able to position the monitors of your systems side-by-side and then control all of them via one keyboard/mouse. Input Director also supports a “shared” clipboard, in which you can copy data onto the clipboard on one system, transition across to another and paste.
Features of “Input Director”:
Easy to Use:
· Easy to follow installation and usage guides – setup only takes a few minutes
Tell Input Director how your monitors are positioned simply by dragging them to the correct spot on the monitor grid:
· Multi-monitor support
· Shared Clipboard – copy and paste between computers (including files!)

Manage all your computers at once:
· Simultaneously lock all computers
· Synchronise the screensavers across your computers
· Synchronise shutdown of your system (or individually configure whether a computer goes to standby, hibernate or shuts down)
· Synchronise the screensavers across your computers
· Synchronise shutdown of your system (or individually configure whether a computer goes to standby, hibernate or shuts down)
Security:
· Encrypt network data between Input Director controlled computers using AES with a 128, 192 or 256bit key
· Lock down the Input Director configuration so that only Administrators may make changes
· Systems can limit which master systems can control them by host name or network subnet
· Lock down the Input Director configuration so that only Administrators may make changes
· Systems can limit which master systems can control them by host name or network subnet
Transition Features:
Ripples surround the cursor for a few seconds after transitioning to help the eye follow the cursor from one computer to another:
Transitioning using the mouse can be setup to occur:
· Immediately when the cursor hits the edge of the screen
· If the screen edge is double tapped by the cursor
· If the cursor momentarily pauses at the edge of the screen
· Can be configured to limit transitions near the corners of computer monitors to avoid accidental slippage between systems
· Can also set a key (or keys) that must be held down to permit transitions between systems
· Hotkeys can be setup to switch control to a specific computer or move to the next computer to the left or right
