Why USB Network Gate is a Great Alternative

If you don't have Logitech peripherals or prefer a different solution, USB Network Gate is an effective alternative. This software allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between Windows and Mac devices, giving you full functionality on both machines. You can even use one keyboard for two computers by forwarding it to an RDP session and using it on the local machine as well.

Scenarios Where USB Network Gate Excels

USB Network Gate is particularly useful in scenarios where native functionality is limited or doesn't exist. For example, if you're trying to use a 3D mouse on a remote computer, you may encounter problems with zooming inside an RDP session. With USB Network Gate, you can easily overcome these limitations and enjoy the full functionality of your peripherals.

In conclusion, sharing your mouse between Mac and PC is easy with Logitech Flow or USB Network Gate. Whether you're looking for a solution that's specifically designed for Logitech peripherals or something more versatile, there's an option out there for you.
