April 2014 – Sharing a mouse and keyboard between computers
Yes, I am one of those people who have 3 computers (a HP Desktop, a Dell Laptop and a Mac) and they are set up next to each other at my desk. Can you use more than one at a time? Yes, I do. While a program is downloading or updating or Google is searching, I can read my email or check my calendar on one of the other computers.
My dream has always been to be able to share one keyboard and mouse between all three computers. And I have found a software program that is FREE that lets you do just that. It is Synergy and can be found at http://synergy-foss.org. It is freeware, so there is not a lot of information on the product, but the installation software guides you thru the set up and you can see a video tutorial and get other help at http://synergy-foss.org/help/ I really like this product and thought you might too!
