# 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.
