Input Leap is an open-source software KVM switch that lets you control multiple computers with a single keyboard and mouse by moving the pointer across screen edges. It is a community fork of Synergy 1.x focused on simplicity, cross-platform compatibility, and reliability, with clipboard sharing support.

Use cases

  • control multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse
  • software kvm switch alternative to synergy
  • share mouse between windows and linux machines
  • share clipboard across multiple computers
  • switch between computers by moving mouse to screen edge

When to choose

  • you want a free, open-source Synergy 1.x alternative
  • you use a mix of Windows, macOS, Linux, or FreeBSD machines
  • you prefer simple, no-frills keyboard/mouse sharing without cloud accounts

When to avoid

  • you need Synergy compatibility or its newer commercial features
  • you need clipboard sharing on Linux/Wayland
  • you need video/monitor switching, which a hardware KVM provides
