Multiplicity 2.0 is a new utility to allow a single keyboard and mouse to control between two and nine computers. Users can drag and drop of large files between PCs, copy and paste formatted content across multiple PCs, and send the audio from all PCs to one PC and a set of speakers.

NEW IN VERSION 2.0

• Send keyboard input to all computers simultaneously.
• Quickly transfer data between your PCs efficiently with no file size limitations.
• User data is always secure with AES-256 encryption and a customizable 200 character key.
• Centralize multiple PC audio to one set of PC speakers.

Find out more about Multiplicity on the Stardock site.

Don't do that again.

I come here for real news.

I think this coverage is just fine. Many people run multiple accounts in their MMOs. How is this not relevant?

This is advertising, plain and simple.

A real news story would at least compare multiple products and options.  It would also cover the advantages and disadvantages of the products.

A program I have used in the past was Synergy.  I don't know if it can do everything this program can, but Synergy is free and open-source.

When I was playing Uncharted Waters Online on two PCs, I was looking for something like this utility. Too late for me, but maybe some dualboxers would appreciate it.

Cheers.

Advertising it may be, but its advertising for free software.

And before you start with the slippery slope arguement, they can be fun, have you not been to a water park before?

It isn't free.  Multiplicity costs $39.95.  $40 for the "free" software.  Pure advertisement masquerading as news.  Relevant or not, it doesn't belong in a news feed.

While Multiplicity is not free, Input Director is... and it does the same thing:

I am a happy customer of many pieces of Stardock software... but this one is too expensive and Input Director does a better job (in my opinion).

Probably not the best timing for such an Advertorial coming right on the heels of the brouhaha over the Admin remarks in the  ad-blocker thread over the weekend.

To avoid the appearance of being an Advertorial such a news item should probably be more than a cut/paste from the company website accompanied by a link that that website...
