			The MagicSwitch allows to use one keyboard and one mouse for several computers. It consists of a physical switch box (black box on the table) and a software running on all relevant computers. The mouse just needs to move across the screen to the next monitor. Then both, mouse and keyboard will work on this PC.

			As long as the software is not running in the background, the mouse can't be moved to the next monitor. This is for example the case when the user is not logged into the Support PC. In this case, switch the computer on the physical switch box by clicking on the '''Computer''' button. The display will show the number of the computer (typically 1 for microscope PC, 2 or 3 for the Support PC depending on the number of PCs on the microscope).
