So, I installed Synergy on all computers and\u00a0 configured Synergy with my Win-XP Desktop as the server and the clients which are my Laptop and Linux box share the server&#8217;s KB and mouse.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/shivdev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/synergysetup.png\" title=\"My Synergy Setup\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/shivdev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/synergysetup.png\" alt=\"My Synergy Setup\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/synergy2.sourceforge.net\/\">Setting up Synergy <\/a> is pretty simple. Configure the server and let it know what machines are on it&#8217;s left and what machines are on it&#8217;s right. For instance<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Win-XP Laptop is to the Left of Win-XP Desktop<\/li>\n<li>Win-XP Desktop is the Right of Win-XP Laptop<\/li>\n<li>Linux Box is to the Right of Win-XP Desktop<\/li>\n<li>Win-XP Desktop is the Left of Linux Box<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Start up your Synergy server and Synergy clients and thats it! What I also love about Synergy is the ability to copy, paste between computers. Yes &#8211; RDP does it too, but again if you want to use other monitors and share the same KB and mouse then this is really fantastic. It&#8217;s a really cool tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been using Synergy for quite a while now and I find it extremely useful.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve demonstrated how I use Synergy and simplified my life by keeping the monitors and using one keyboard and one mouse across different computers.
