Windows 1.3.1

Version 1.3.1 · October 14, 2026

• Binds UDP sockets to the established TCP connection's local address and network interface. Connections on different local addresses or interfaces use separate sockets.
• Uses the TCP interface index as the IPv6 scope ID for link-local destinations, keeping pointer movement and scrolling on the intended interface.
• Determines the interface when TCP connects and refreshes it on reconnection, without looking up adapters or changing interface settings for each mouse movement.
• Preserves full numeric IPv6 zones in diagnostic addresses and logs the Windows interface name, interface index, and scope ID.
• Summarizes repeated UDP errors at most once every five seconds, including alternating error codes, and flushes pending counts during cleanup.
• Retains source and malformed-packet checks, and prevents old UDP peer bindings from silently adopting a reconnected TCP session.

Version 1.3.0 · October 14, 2026

• Sends UDP mouse movement and scrolling using the same peer address, local address, and network interface as the established TCP connection. Only the UDP port is stored separately.
• Keeps left and right connections on their respective TCP interfaces, validates incoming UDP sources against the TCP peer, and stops using a route after its TCP connection closes.
• Improves input forwarding between connected computers, including forwarding held-input release events to the device currently being controlled.
• Improves local cursor hiding during remote control with a transparent overlay on the active side of the desktop, including applications that select their own system cursor.
• Shows actionable connection choices in the tray menu and named disconnect commands for connected devices; unavailable choices are hidden.
• Reduces routine TCP accept logging while retaining diagnostics for malformed UDP packets, unexpected sources, and transport failures.

Version 1.2.0 · October 13, 2026

• Adds a Pair List menu in the Windows system tray to view saved device names and shortened identity fingerprints.
• Lets you remove a saved pairing after confirmation. Existing connections stay active; the next connection requires six-digit pairing verification again.
• Adds HTTPS reports for successful new pairings and established connections, including trusted reconnections. Only the initiating computer reports each event.
• Each report contains a new random event ID, not a persistent device identifier. Report payloads do not include device names, addresses, pairing keys, or keyboard and mouse content.
• Reporting failures are recorded in the diagnostic log without interrupting control or showing a dialog. Failed reports are not retried.

Version 1.1.0 · October 8, 2026

• Adds a Windows input service and helper that allow received keyboard and mouse input to reach elevated applications, UAC prompts, and the lock screen when normal input injection is blocked.
• Starts the helper in the active console session and restarts it after session changes or an unexpected exit.
• Keeps only the newest pending standalone wheel packet for each connected device and rejects older or duplicate packets, reducing delayed scrolling when packets accumulate.
• Preserves individual pointer movement updates and scrolling carried together with movement.
• Installs the application and service in Program Files, starts the service during setup, and removes it during uninstall.

Requires Windows 10 or later on an x64 PC. Administrator approval is now required to install or update the input service.

Version 1.0 users can choose About → Check Update or download the installer below. The input service assists the receiving Windows computer; this release does not include a fix for source-side games interrupting mouse movement capture.

Version 1.0.0 · September 26, 2026

• Connects to separate devices on the left and right at the same time, with independent pairing and TLS 1.2 sessions for each side.
• Moves keyboard and mouse control through the configured screen edge and restores the local pointer, held keys, and mouse buttons when a session ends.
• Sends relative mouse movement over a low-latency UDP path while keeping clicks and keyboard input on the reliable TLS connection.
• Carries wheel movement with pointer movement and preserves click counts so compatible peers reproduce double clicks.
• Uses device identity verification, secure pairing, Ping/Pong heartbeat timeouts, connection recovery, and TCP reachability probes for discovered devices.
• Adds buffered daily diagnostic logs, retains the latest five log files, and provides a Bug Report action that prepares an email with logs attached.
• Adds WinSparkle online updates with EdDSA verification and a redesigned About window with Website, Check Update, and Bug Report actions.
• Logs connection changes, transport errors, malformed mouse packets, and packets received from an unexpected UDP source.

Requirements and compatibility

Windows 10 or later on an x64 PC. Both devices must be reachable on the same local network and run a compatible DeskJoin Control 1.0 protocol.

Version 1.0 changes the mouse protocol and does not retain compatibility with earlier preview builds. Update both devices before connecting them.
