I have a laptop and a desktop (with monitor). I have used my desktop monitor as an external monitor.

Now the HDMI port on my laptop is broken.

So my question is basicly how to share keybord, clipboard and mouse on other monitor.

Is there any way to connect remotely to my desktop and to use my desktop monitor as an external monitor?

  • Both computers run on Windows.
  • With Remote Desktop I can only see the desktop screen on my laptop when my desktop screen is off.
  • With TeamViewer both screens are on but I have to have Desktop screen in focus in order to control it. Although I have activated TeamViewer to accept LAN Connections there is a huge lag.

I am shure that there are other software like this. But I didnt need RDC to transfer video and use Internet or Lan speed, Because the second monitor is right next to me.

So, http://www.keyboard-and-mouse-sharing.com/ or synergy (but I could not test it because there is no trial)

I have tested it and it works with windows 8.1, 7 and Vista, there is and MAC version also and it is free for personal use.
