Synergy :: Sourceforge.net

synergy: [noun] a mutually advantageous conjunction of distinct elements

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).

Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes screen savers so they all start and stop together.


The real beauty of Synergy though, is that the machines sharing a single keyboard/mouse can be running virtually any operating system. Windows, Linux, OS X, Solaris - they all work seamlessly!
