Synergy
Software to share one mouse and one keyboard between multiple computers
Synergy is an interesting application for users of several computers. This program allows you to use only one mouse and one keyboard on several machines at once. However, if the keyboard is more or less clear and simply switches between computers, the mouse, in turn, jumps when brought to the edge of one desktop on the other. That is, you can even make one desktop out of several monitors standing next to each other.
The graphical interface of the program is simple enough to work with, and there is a wide range of options to configure its operation as required. However, the utility only requires a network connection between the computers used. Among other things, it supports the shared clipboard function, which greatly facilitates the transfer of various multimedia information. It is possible to encode the transmitted information, which will protect it from theft by intruders. It is worth noting that this wonderful application is distributed absolutely free of charge.
One main benefit of using Synergy is its ability to control multiple computers using a single mouse and keyboard, greatly enhancing workflow efficiency.
