如何在多台计算机上的鼠标和键盘上使用Logitech Flow
Logitech’s newest mice and keyboards have an interesting additional feature called Flow. Flow lets you use a mouse and keyboard across multiple PCs, very much like Synergy or Mouse Without Borders, but with a much simpler setup process.
罗技最新的鼠标和键盘还有一个有趣的附加功能，称为Flow。 Flow使您可以在多台PC上使用鼠标和键盘，非常类似于Synergy或无边界鼠标，但是设置过程要简单得多。
Logitech Flow isn’t a separate program—you’ll have to dive into the configuration application in order to set everything up.
Logitech Flow并不是单独的程序，您必须深入配置应用程序才能进行所有设置。
你需要什么 (What You’ll Need)
For this process, you’ll need:
为此，您需要：
- Two or more PCs, running either Windows or macOS. They need to be on the same local network. 两台或多台运行Windows或macOS的PC。 它们必须位于同一本地网络上。
-
A compatible Logitech mouse. At the time of writing, the compatible models are the MX Master 2S, MX Anywhere 2S, M585, and M720 Triathlon mice. For seamless keyboard switching, you’ll also need a compatible Logitech keyboard, which includes the K780, K380, K375s, and MK 850 keyboards. (You do not need a compatible Logitech keyboard though, just a mouse—see the last section of this guide for more info.)
兼容的Logitech鼠标。 在撰写本文时，兼容的模型是MX Master 2S ， MX Anywhere 2S ， M585和M720 Triathlon鼠标。 为了无缝切换键盘，您还需要兼容的Logitech键盘，其中包括K780 ， K380 ， K375s和MK 850键盘。 (不过，您不需要兼容的Logitech键盘，只需鼠标即可-有关更多信息，请参阅本指南的最后一部分。)
- Logitech Unifying USB dongles for all your devices, or Bluetooth in the connected PCs. Mixing and matching is fine. 适用于所有设备的Logitech Unifying USB加密狗，或连接的PC中的蓝牙。 混合和匹配很好。
If your devices aren’t compatible, you’ll need to use something like Synergy instead—otherwise, read on.
如果您的设备不兼容，则需要使用Synergy之类的东西，否则请继续阅读。
第一步：安装Logitech选件 (Step One: Install Logitech Options)
If you haven’t already, download and install Logitech Options from this link on all the computers you wish to connect via Flow. It’s pretty handy software even without this feature, allowing for gesture control and custom key bindings. Just download the installer and follow the on-screen instructions—in Windows double-click the install file, in macOS drag it into the Applications folder.
如果尚未安装，请从此链接下载Logitech Options并将其安装在要通过Flow连接的所有计算机上。 即使没有此功能，它也是非常方便的软件，允许进行手势控制和自定义按键绑定。 只需下载安装程序并按照屏幕上的说明进行操作即可-在Windows中，双击安装文件，在macOS中，将其拖到Applications文件夹中。
Once the program is installed, it should detect any compatible Logitech products automatically. (Note that just because a mouse or keyboard appears in Logitech Options doesn’t mean it’s compatible with Flow.) You’ll need to use your mouse or keyboard’s multi-device functionality to pair it with all the computers, one at a time.
安装该程序后，它将自动检测任何兼容的Logitech产品。 (请注意，仅仅是因为鼠标或键盘出现在Logitech Options中并不意味着它与Flow兼容。)您将需要使用鼠标或键盘的多设备功能将其与所有计算机一次配对。
第二步：将鼠标和键盘配对 (Step Two: Pair Your Mice and Keyboards)
To add a device to Logitech Options manually, use the multi-device button to switch to a secondary channel, pressing and holding it until the light flashes quickly, indicating it’s ready to pair via Bluetooth or a Logitech Unifying Receiver. Click “Add devices” in Logitech Options, then click either “Add Unifying Device” if you’re using the USB dongle or “Add Bluetooth Device” if you’re using Bluetooth.
要将设备手动添加到Logitech Options，请使用多设备按钮切换到辅助频道，按住该频道直到指示灯快速闪烁，表明已准备通过蓝牙或Logitech Unifying Receiver进行配对。 单击Logitech选项中的“添加设备”，如果使用USB加密狗，则单击“添加统一设备”，如果使用蓝牙，则单击“添加蓝牙设备”。
For a Unifying device, follow the on-screen instructions; for a Bluetooth device, pair it in the usual way with either Windows’ or macOS’s Bluetooth dialog—it should be detected automatically by Logitech Options.
对于统一设备，请按照屏幕上的说明进行操作； 对于蓝牙设备，请以常规方式将其与Windows或macOS的“蓝牙”对话框配对-Logitech Options应该自动检测到它。
Repeat this process with all your PCs and input devices, switching to the alternate connections as needed. Once finished, you should see a new “Flow” tab at the top of Logitech Options. If Flow doesn’t appear on all your PCs, try reinstalling the program and rebooting your machine.
对所有PC和输入设备重复此过程，并根据需要切换到备用连接。 完成后，您应该在Logitech Options的顶部看到一个新的“ Flow”选项卡。 如果Flow并未出现在所有PC上，请尝试重新安装程序并重新启动计算机。
第三步：建立流连接 (Step Three: Establish Flow Connection)
On each machine, click the Flow tab in Logitech Options. (You might need to switch channels on your mouse if you only have one.) If all your machines are connected to the same network, you should see them appear on the screen below:
在每台计算机上，单击Logitech Options中的Flow选项卡。 (如果只有一个，则可能需要在鼠标上切换通道。)如果所有计算机都连接到同一网络，则应该看到它们出现在下面的屏幕中：
The white or teal squares represent the screens of each machine and their relative positions: where they intersect with a grey line, the mouse cursor will be able to pass between them seamlessly. Click and drag to arrange the squares in the same configuration as your real-world setup—if your laptop is to the left of your desktop monitor, place the corresponding square to the left, and so on. If you’re not sure which square represents which machine, click the “…” menu item to see the PC name.
白色或深绿色方块代表每台机器的屏幕及其相对位置：它们与灰线相交时，鼠标光标将能够在它们之间无缝地通过。 单击并拖动以按照与实际设置相同的配置排列这些正方形-如果您的笔记本电脑位于台式机显示器的左侧，则将相应的正方形置于左侧，依此类推。 如果不确定哪个正方形代表哪台计算机，请单击“…”菜单项以查看PC名称。
The options on the left are fairly self-explanatory. The toggle switch for Logitech Flow turns the entire feature on and off, which can be useful if you’re focusing on a single task. It’s also available in the notification area. For a more intentional switch, there’s an option to only move the cursor to another machine when the Ctrl button on the keyboard is being held down.
左侧的选项很容易解释。 Logitech Flow的拨动开关可打开和关闭整个功能，如果您专注于单个任务，则该功能很有用。 在通知区域中也可用。 对于更故意的切换，可以选择仅在按住键盘上的Ctrl键时将光标移动到另一台计算机上。
Enabling copy and paste will allow you to move items on the operating system clipboard between connected PCs. Linking keyboards shouldn’t be required if you’re using a Flow-compatible model, but a manual addition is available if you need it.
启用复制和粘贴将使您能够在连接的PC之间在操作系统剪贴板上移动项目。 如果您使用的是兼容Flow的型号，则不需要链接键盘，但是如果需要，可以使用手动添加。
我可以将非Logitech键盘与Flow一起使用吗？ (Can I Use Non-Logitech Keyboards With Flow?)
No. The Flow connection is set up over your local network for the hand-off of the cursor and other elements like copy-and-paste, but the actual computer inputs rely on specific USB or Bluetooth connections to all of computers. So you can use a Logitech mouse on multiple computers at once with Flow, but without a Flow-compatible Logitech keyboard, you won’t be able to type remotely.
不可以。Flow连接是通过本地网络建立的，用于传递光标和其他元素(例如，复制和粘贴)，但是实际的计算机输入依赖于到所有计算机的特定USB或蓝牙连接。 因此，使用Flow可以一次在多台计算机上使用Logitech鼠标，但是如果没有Flow兼容的Logitech键盘，就无法远程键入。
For a more universal solution (which unfortunately takes more work to set up), try Synergy KVM or Microsoft’s Mouse Without Borders. These programs work with any conventional mouse or keyboard.
对于更通用的解决方案(不幸的是，这需要更多的工作来设置)，请尝试Synergy KVM或Microsoft的Mouse Without Borders 。 这些程序可与任何常规鼠标或键盘一起使用。
