Mouse

For the mouse to work accurately, all systems must have identical mouse drivers,

identical desktops (that is, identically placed icons), and identical video resolutions.

In addition, the mouse must be in exactly the same place on all screens. Because

these conditions are extremely difficult to achieve, broadcasting mouse movement to

multiple systems may have unpredictable results.

The console switch attempts to send keystrokes and mouse movements to the

selected computers simultaneously; however, some computers may inhibit and thus

delay the transmission.
