Multiplicity is a new program that lets you control multiple computers with a single keyboard and mouse.
If you’ve ever used a multiple monitor equipped PC, then you can imagine how Multiplicity works.
Each monitor is connected to its own PC.
When the user moves the mouse over to a given monitor, the user is then controlling that PC.

It’s ideal for power users, engineers, graphics designers, gamers, or anyone else who has ever seen the benefit of multiple monitors but wants the full power of multiple computers working seamlessly together.
Multiplicity Pro even lets you copy and paste folders/files between machines.

Please note:

Multiplicity is not a “remote desktop” application.
Each system continues to need its own monitor to display that PC. Multiplicity is used to seamlessly move between multiple machines and control them from one primary PC.

FEATURES:
* Clip and Paste
- Share your clipboard contents among your master and slave computers, including images!

* File and Directory Copying
- Easily move files, or entire directories between computers! (Pro Version)

* Hotkey Support
- Multiplicity supports fast switching to the connected computers via configurable hotkeys and mouse buttons!
