I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this software before, it looks pretty powerful however, I’d like to find something that would allow this on a PC, i would hate to have to setup a mac on my desk, just to get rid of 3 sets of keyboards/mice without having to purchase a hardware KVM.

Also, the one feature that I’d really be looking for, is the shared clipboard, just being able to move my mouse to another physical computer and copying something from a window and returning to my development machine to paste that text is the most powerful timesaving feature I can think of.

I use Synergy at work.

I have a PC and a laptop, when I move my mouse off the right side of my monitor it shows up on my laptop and now my Primary PC keyboard and mouse is doing everything on the laptop. The clipboard is also shared. It can get confused but overall it is so worth it.

Synergy looks interesting. Like a valid alternative to a KVM switch or a remote control application for some. I'll have to play with it. I like the concept of moving your mouse off the screen to control another computer.

I use Synergy with a Mac, a Linux desktop, and a Windows machine. Great piece of software.

I have to agree, synergy seems to do everything I need it to. Thanks to everyone for the awesome links, my google foo isn't working lately

The only problem I’ve found, which would be an added bonus if it worked. Try to load up hl2 on your gaming PC, and the mouse works nicely in the server browser, but after you get into the game, you just spin in endless circles. Anyone know of a way to fix that?

actually, if you turn on the 'relative mouse moves' option with scroll lock enabled on the gaming pc, it will work almost perfectly, but if you try to disable scroll lock and go back into your other pc the mouse won't go return to the other screen and you start going in endless circles again in hl2.

I've been using Teleffect to do the same thing between the SGIs and my Win-tendo for years. This looks like a pretty good second choice.

And I agree, it is cool watching the mouse just cruise from one system to the next. Not as cool as sharing clipboards, but still really cool.

osx2x will share a clipboard by you "copying" and "pasting" when osx2x is the foreground app. Sort of weird.

Would you believe, They might be more worried about NOT being able to decript than being secure.
