Synergy - great for multi-PC setups like mine

  • Article

I've got a spiffing Dell XPS 420 as my main home machine and I've been spending a lot of time on it working on personal projects and being an ADD-type of person tend to do work stuff at the same time on my Lenovo laptop. I always struggled with having to flip between machines but didn't want the expense and mess of a KVM switch.

Then I spotted Clint Rutkas' post about Synergy, a neat utility that allows me to share my keyboard/mouse across two machines seamlessly. It's a little unfriendly in the UX department getting it set up but once you have got that mastered it's a breeze to use!
