Cross-Machine Control Without Cloud Relays: Direct LAN Mouse & Keyboard Handoff
Developers working across multiple physical computers—such as a primary workstation desktop and a secondary laptop—frequently struggle with peripheral management or rely on cloud-based remote desktop software that introduces network latency and video compression artifacts.
Direct Encrypted TCP Communications
Unlike cloud-based mouse sharing or remote desktop software, Borders operates over a direct TCP socket connection between the two devices. Mouse coordinates, wheel deltas, and keyboard input events are encrypted end-to-end and transmitted directly over your Local Area Network (LAN).
Low-Level System Event Interception
Under the hood, CmdVault registers native OS input hooks via rdev. When the cursor touches the configured screen boundary (Left, Right, Top, or Bottom), the controller machine suppresses local pointer movement and streams coordinate deltas to the target machine, which synthesizes mouse and keyboard inputs locally.
Emergency Hotkey Protection
If the secondary machine disconnects or screen state gets out of alignment, pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc instantly disengages input suppression and restores mouse and keyboard control to the local host machine.
