EasySwitch vs ShareMouse
The short version
ShareMouse shares one mouse and keyboard across Windows and Mac with clipboard and drag-and-drop file transfer. Its free tier is limited to non-commercial use with a small number of computers, and there's no Linux support. EasySwitch adds Linux, keeps end-to-end encryption free on every tier, and adds a phone/browser bridge.
