Frequently Asked Questions

What does MouseMagix do?

MouseMagix records key and mouse input signals on one computer and sends that info to other participating computers (who have MouseMagix installed and are on the same local network). That way, just a single keyboard-mouse set can be shared between different machines.

Is MouseMagix easy to use?

MouseMagix is doing everything it can to make the process of keyboard-mouse-sharing between different computers as easy as possible. There is no need for making one of your machines the server for everything to work, MouseMagix always figures out the best current setup automatically. Just start the app on all participating machines, and you're good to go.

Does MouseMagix work with iOS or Android devices too?

Not at the moment. If that request will pop up frequently enough, we might start to think about it.

What if MouseMagix hangs, or I lose track of where the mouse cursor is?

In the unlikely event of anything going wrong, simply press the "ESC" button three times in a row. That will stop MouseMagix on the machine to which your mouse and keyboard that you use at that point is connected. You can then start anew by simply firing up MouseMagix again.

Is there a free demo?

There is a general 30-days money-back guarantee after your purchase, so there is plenty of time to check out whether MouseMagix works as expected for your setup.

Is this a subscription or a permanent license?

At the moment, what you get is a permanent license. We believe that the price for a full license is already so low that it does not make much sense to split that amount into even smaller monthly payments.

There seem to be no incoming keyboard or mouse events when working with MouseMagix?

This is usually due to one of two possibilities: either your participating machines are not on the same local network (please double-check that!) or MouseMagix is being blocked by your firewall settings. Please check the set of permissions in your firewall and make sure that MouseMagix is granted an exception.

Will there be a Linux version?

MouseMagix has just been released in its first version, and although we greatly admire the progress of Linux and know very well how many of the internet's backbone is run on it, the focus initially was to serve the two most prominent consumer operating systems, which are still Windows and Mac. We are actively investigating how to generalize the code for Linux though, so please make sure to check back every now and then, it might just be that one of the future updates will work on Linux too!
