Woman using mouse.

It's something that just about everyone with a laptop and a desktop PC has experienced. If you are working with both devices at your desk simultaneously, you've almost certainly frantically waggled your mouse and wondered why your laptop isn't responding. It happens to the best of us, but there's a solution thanks to Mouse Without Borders.

This handy PowerToys utility gives you the ability to use a single mouse with two or more computers. If you've ever used a multi-monitor setup, you will already have something of an idea of what to expect. With Mouse Without Borders, you can move you mouse cursor off the edge of the desktop of one computer and have it reappear on the other machine. But this amazing utility goes far beyond just this, as you'll find out.
