I ran across this review this weekend on Webreference and thought it was pretty cool. I personally have three screens in front of me, two on my development machine with one in the middle that goes to my sandbox machine for testing. This software allows me to use just one keyboard as opposed to having to keep up with two. Pretty slick, and the best part is that it’s totally free. Give it a try and see what you think. For more information, check out the Software Review: Synergy – webreference.com article. (see the excerpt below)
Many people use more than one computer for writing, programming, designing and Web development. I use three: two desktops and one laptop. Switching between the different keyboards and mice can be a bit tedious, especially if you have a few slide-out drawers. Also, it would be nice to do a screen capture on one computer and paste it into a document on another. Many people have two monitors for one keyboard and one mouse. Why can’t we use one keyboard and one mouse for two or more different computers? Well, actually you can. And it’s pretty simple to do, you just need to have a bit of synergy.
