# ShareClick vs Mouse Without Borders

> A free, open-source alternative to Mouse Without Borders that also works on Mac.
> Share mouse, keyboard, clipboard and files between Mac and Windows. Encrypted.

Mouse Without Borders is a great free tool from Microsoft — but it is
**Windows-only**. If you need to share one keyboard and mouse between a **Mac and
a Windows PC**, ShareClick does it: open source, encrypted by default, with
clipboard and file sharing built in.

| Feature | ShareClick | Mouse Without Borders |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Price | Free & open source | Free (Microsoft Garage) |
| Works on Mac | **Yes** | No (Windows only) |
| Works on Windows | Yes | Yes |
| Open source | **Yes (MIT/Apache)** | No |
| Clipboard (text + images) | Yes | Yes |
| File transfer | Yes | Yes |
| Encryption | **On by default (X25519 + ChaCha20)** | Limited |
| Auto discovery | **mDNS (no IPs)** | Manual (security code) |
| Input transport | **UDP, ~6 µs** | TCP |

## Which should you pick?

- **Choose ShareClick** if either machine is a **Mac** — Mouse Without Borders
  can't help there. You also get open source, encryption on by default, and
  zero-config discovery.
- **Choose Mouse Without Borders** if **all** your machines run Windows and you're
  happy with a closed-source Microsoft tool.

Mouse Without Borders is polished and genuinely free, but it never left Windows.
ShareClick brings the same "one keyboard & mouse across machines" idea to
**Mac↔Windows**, with a UDP input path (~6 µs transport overhead), encryption on
every channel, and mDNS discovery so you never type an IP.
