Solved: Mouse without Borders

Hello,

Is it OK to use Mouse without Borders to control 2 or 3 PCs with one mouse + keyboard while using Upwork time tracker? Thanks in advance!

That is a tool that lets you control additional computers from the same mouse/keyboard.

There is no rule against doing that.

Just understand that the Upwork desktop time-tracker only works on a single computer. So if you run it on one computer, while primarily working on a DIFFERENT computer, you risk a situation in which the time-tracker doesn't accurately track your work. Your work diaries might show low keyboard/mouse activity, or fail to register time segments.

This might not be a factor at all in the way that you work. Or it might be something you need to consider.

But as for the queston about whether this violates any rules?
No, it does not.
