EasySwitch vs Luna Display
The short version
Luna Display is a hardware dongle that makes an iPad or a spare Mac into a second display, with latency that software-only tools struggle to match. It costs around $120 per setup, is built around Apple hardware, and does screens only. EasySwitch needs no dongle, works between macOS, Windows and Linux in any combination, and also shares one keyboard, mouse and clipboard across those machines for a one-time software price.

Why people move to EasySwitch
- No dongle to buy, lose, or plug into every machine.
- Works with Windows and Linux, not just Apple hardware.
- The same purchase shares keyboard, mouse, clipboard and files.
- One-time software price rather than per-setup hardware.
When Luna Display is the better pick
Luna is the better pick for an all-Apple desk where absolute lowest latency matters more than cost or cross-platform support — a dedicated hardware path is hard to beat.
