What we compare

Five honest read-outs

If you're shopping for software to share a mouse and keyboard across computers, there are roughly six names that come up. CursorHop is one. These pages cover the other five.

Each comparison is built the same way: a short honest verdict, a benchmark strip, a full feature matrix, a “pick them if / pick us if” split, an FAQ, and a trademark disclaimer — because we're using competitor names for factual comparison (which is legal) and want to be crystal clear we're not affiliated.

The common thread: CursorHop's Rust engine (~7 ms median latency), encryption on every tier, mDNS auto-discovery, 70 Mbps file transfer, and a one-time $10 entry price. The common gap we don't claim: Linux support. That's coming, but it isn't here yet — so if Linux is a hard requirement today, the comparison pages will tell you which competitor to pick.
