I was disappointed by the mouse getting out of sync until I actually read the manual (can you believe it!?!). Anyway, after unchecking the performance settings for the mouse on the local machine, it syncs up fine and there is minimal lag. The only let down was not being able to log on two users at the same time. I have a tech case open about it, as the first level support stated that it referred to one local and one remote user, but then the "The message board" would be useless, as it states in the manual that the message board isn't available on the local monitor. Seems they planned on implementing such a feature but must have forgot about it when release date came around. Hopefully they will release a firmware update that addresses this. That feature could prove extremely useful as a teaching tool for multiple remote administrators. It works pretty well.

Obviously if I’m working remotely then I cant seee the sreen and cant hit F1 on the local keyboard. So this device really lets you take control of the PC in this scenario? If so, then this is surely a must for us IT folk! Typical remote (very annoying) problems I encounter are blue screens and “Hit F1 to continue screens” when rebooting a PC.
