Yes. If you want a Mouse Without Borders alternative but cannot rely on software installation or a shared LAN, WBT2-V4 is the WSCOME hardware option for switching one keyboard and mouse across multiple computers.
Mouse Without Borders is useful when all computers are on a reachable network and you are allowed to install and maintain software on each machine. But many real desks do not work that way. One computer may be managed by IT, one may be offline sometimes, or the user may want switching to stay independent from software tools. That is where a hardware keyboard-and-mouse switch becomes the better fit.
When hardware is better than Mouse Without Borders
- You cannot install Mouse Without Borders on one of the computers.
- Your computers are not always on the same LAN or reachable network.
- You want switching that does not depend on background software.
- You want keyboard and mouse control only, with monitors handled separately.
- You may want to scale beyond a simple two-computer desk, up to 8 supported computers.
Mouse Without Borders vs WBT2-V4
| Need | Mouse Without Borders | WBT2-V4 hardware switch |

| Same LAN or reachable network | Usually yes | No |
| Keyboard and mouse only | Yes | Yes |
| Monitor switching | No | No |
| Office computer with admin restrictions | Often a weak point | Better fit |
| Scale beyond a simple 2-PC desk | Possible, but still software-managed | Supported setups can scale up to 8 computers |
What WBT2-V4 actually does
WBT2-V4 is a hardware keyboard and mouse switch. Each target computer uses a supported WSCOME connection path such as a paired receiver or Bluetooth pairing. Because the switching is hardware-based, the computers do not need to discover each other over the network.
This makes it useful for office computers, mixed personal-and-work desks, restricted laptops, and multi-computer setups where software deployment is the main blocker.
What this product does not do
WBT2-V4 is not a full video KVM. It does not switch HDMI, DisplayPort, or monitor signals. It also should not be described as a software replacement for every remote-control workflow. Its role is specific: switching keyboard and mouse input across supported computers.
