How to Control Two Computers with only One Mouse & Keyboard Without Using a KVM

synergy-plus-frontpageI've been using this technique when I needed to control my computer but at the same time use a laptop on the side for other specific tasks. The software is called Synergy+. Here are some of the key features of this great piece of free program to use only one set of mouse and keyboard across multiple computers and even with different OSes (Linux/Mac/Windows):

  • Move your mouse easily between computers

  • Requires nothing other than existing ethernet

  • Copy and paste between your computers


  • You can still use multiple monitors on the same computer

  • Lock the mouse to one screen temporarily (useful for games)

    Whoaw! This is great. It's similar to Windows Remote Desktop connection. But this one has a lot of features :D You can use it in different OSs and that makes it much better. Plus including those features like copy pasting instantly!
