Synergy

One keyboard and mouse for several computers

Synergy, from Symless, lets one keyboard and mouse control several computers over your network. Move the pointer off the edge of one screen and it moves onto the next computer. Macs and Windows PCs can share the same set.

Which version

Symless currently offers classic Synergy and a new alpha called Synergy Dragon.

Synergy Dragon Alpha

Newer · for existing Synergy customers

The computers form one Dragon network. One computer leads, the rest join it, and new builds install themselves. It is still alpha software, so expect changes between builds.

Classic Synergy

Established · one server, several clients

One computer runs as the server with the keyboard and mouse. The others connect to it as clients by its network address.

We run Synergy Dragon across four computers, a Mac and three Windows PCs. The Dragon guide is written from that setup, including the problems we hit and how we fixed them.
