We’d recommend Switched input as Multiplex is not stable and a disclaimer will warn you if you try to use it. Multiplex is experimental and tries to give all users access to cursor movement and left/right clicks.Īfter installation, the small main window will open and you only really need to select the mode to use. Switched input mode lets you have several cursors moving independently on screen but only one at a time has access to click actions (like TeamPlayer). Native is the Windows default of a single cursor. There are three different modes in MouseMux Native Mode, Switched Input, and Multiplex Input. However, we are unsure if the project is still ongoing as there has been no activity since May 2019.
Currently, MouseMux is still in beta and betas are free to use. MouseMux is by a former lead engineer at TeamPlayer. TeamPlayer 2 works reasonably well but we did encounter a few minor issues, which might be expected of a program this old. The other cursors can be moved freely and you simply left click to take control and make that mouse active. The white cursor with a colored square is active and can be used for left or right click actions. On screen there will be up to three mouse cursors, each with its own color. During launch, 64-bit users will be shown a 64-bit beta warning which can be ignored.
Make sure you have plugged in the mice and keyboards before launching this TeamPlayer as it doesn’t recognize new devices while running.
The one available checkbox in the user interface is to check for updates which doesn’t work. That’s a useful advantage over TeamPLayer4 Lite if you need the third user. It’s free for personal use, doesn’t expire and accepts up to three mouse/keyboard users at once.

This older beta version of TeamPlayer dates way back to 2008 but we tried it in the latest Windows 10 64-bit and it still works.
