To wrap up Synergy is a great program that multi-taskers are going to enjoy and get many benefits from it, like not spending money on KVMs, no need to have a set of mouse and keyboard for each computer Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 (x86/圆4), Linux (x86/圆4) and Mac are supported, and much more.
The Synergy project was originally created by Chris Schoeneman, but suddenly in 2006 the development stopped, and after so many people requesting an updated version, Sorin Sbârnea and Nick Bolton picked up the Synergy+ project to provide bug fixes and support while waiting for Synergy version 2, which will bring more stability for modern operating systems. To avoid confusion there are somethings to clear up, Synergy+ and Synergy are now the same, they have merged. You will still have the ability to use multiple monitors on the same computer.Support copy and paste between computers. ShareMouse has been designed to work similar to a KVM Switch (short for keyboard video and mouse) which is a hardware device to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse.No need to press any buttons, unlike when using KVM.Seamlessly move the mouse between computers.No hardware required, just an ethernet connection.If you have a mouse or keyboard connected to the second PC, you need to do the same on the second computer to use that computers mouse on the first. All you need to do is open the Mouse without Borders program and click on the Apply button to establish the connection. These are Synergy most important features: It is fairly easy to resolve the issue though. Don’t spend money on KVMs (Keyboard, Video and Mouse), what you need is Synergy, which is a great free open source application that let you share your mouse and keyboard with multiple computers through local network and it is also cross platform, so you are not only are going to be able to use this program in Windows but also in Mac and Linux.Īfter Synergy is installed and configured in each device, you will see how easy is to work with it, just move the mouse to the edged of the monitor and seamlessly the mouse pointer will appear in the next monitor, at which point you can also start using keyboard.
