Input Director is a Windows application that lets you control multiple Windows systems using the keyboard/mouse attached to one computer. It is designed for folks who have two (or more) computers set up at home and find themselves regularly sliding from one system to the other (and wearing out the carpet in the process!). 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). The idea being that you can position the monitors from two or more systems in a row and use a shared keyboard/mouse to control all of them.

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.

New features include:
* Supports flexible monitor layouts for systems with 3+ monitors attached
* Improved keyboard layout translation support
* Mirror input mode can be limited to just keyboard or mouse only
* Fixed security problem with Vista and Windows7 masters that could block the cursor from transitioning to slaves
* The master can be set to automatically rescan slaves when resuming from standby
* Can setup a hotkey to fast switch between mirror and master modes
* Fixed an issue with display resolution changes that could block the cursor from transitioning between systems
* Fixed an issue in which a locally attached slave mouse could trigger an input transition
* Fixed an issue that could stop screensavers synchronising across systems
* Fixed a number of issues that could cause keys to become 'stuck' on a system
* Fixed issue with held keys not recognised after playing a macro locally on the master
* Now using IP Addresses instead of hostnames in UNC paths for File copy/pastes
* Various minor bug fixes and improvements

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)

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

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

Keyboard and Mouse Features
# Choose to use your mouse (speed, button order) preferences when directing another system
# Supports different keyboard layouts
# The keyboard LEDs (Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock) reflect the status of the computer being controlled
# Miror input - Broadcast mouse gestures and keyboard input to all computers simultaneously
# Keyboard macros - record a sequence of keystrokes that can then be run by hotkey. Macros can be broadcast to all computers, played on the system being controlled, or tied to a particular computer
