• Great idea, works for a while, then won't and men...

  ...i<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Firstly, this is an inspired idea that one wonders how Apple missed. Issue #1: Can you please fix the menu bar item to stay in the menu bar even when disabled? To have to always go back to the System Preferences to re-enable it is surprise hand to forehead moment. Issue #2: It stops working after a while. You get the cool radiating red thingies on the edge that indicate you are really wanting to teleport over to your other machine but the cursor won't go, rather it just keeps bouncing off the edge. Scotty needs to fix the transporter. Other than that, great idea I'd like to use consistently one day.

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I search for such a software since a long time and here it is ! - For PPC, you just must go to the developer web site where you can find a version - Add the pref.panel only for the current user ... and it simply works ! Even French keyboard works whereas it was transformed into Qwerty one with Apple screen shared... I hope the developer has a way to get donation easely... he will receive mine !

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />So simple yet so useful! I have a Mac Pro with 2 23" screens plus a MacBook sitting next to it. I have Mail and iChat open on the laptop an my graphic apps on the MacPro. So now I can send files from my MacPro to contacts in iChat with just a simple drag&amp;drop! Copy/Paste between machines is also a great time saver. Feature request: - Wacom support: To have the target machine recognize the wacom tablet and not switch it into mouse mode when "teleporting" (I have the driver installed on both machines)

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This product is fabulous, and the developer has been able to make it so intuitive, when lots of synergy developers can't. I can't wait for 1.0.

• Best soft KM solution I have found - by MILES

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have tried other solutions (freeware and demo) over the past few days, to share my G5's keyboard and mouse with my G4 Powerbook, and nothing has held a candle to <b>teleport</b> yet. It is simple to implement, practical to use, and best of all, it works like a charm. While other software attempts to seemlessly port the keyboard and mouse, I have found that many things are lost in translation. With the exception of the volume control keys and the eject key (which I can happily live without) all of the mac keyboard and mouse functions work with <b>teleport</b> as if the devices were native (so far as I have checked anyhow). Examples of functions that <b>teleport</b> supports, while the others I have tried do not, are: <br><br> - Correct operation of Cmd and Option keys (copying fils and making aliases, etc.) and Function keys<br> - Cmd-Tab app switching<br> - Functional implementation of scroll acceleration (scrolling was painful using other software)<br> - Tripple clicking (highlight url in address bar, etc.) <br><br> Adding to this a real ability to copy and paste, and drag and drop, places <b>teleport</b> lightyears ahead of other KM solutions. I now have no need for the "wormhole" type app I was using to simplify file transfer... what could be simpler than draging and dropping? <br><br> Simply Fantastic, and "only" in beta form... <br><br> Many thanks to the developer.

• Truely fantastic

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Easy to install - really a nofuss install. Easy to configure. And it works as described! I have a MBP sitting between an eMac and a 20" iMac. Even ctrl-mouse scroll zooms the screen! This is acutally really handy as the iMac is some 10 feet away and some of the find detail on the screen can be hard to read.
