Share your keyboard and mouse between several computers : synergy

I just wanted to signal one very cool tool : synergy. It will allow you to share your mouse and keyboard between two computers. For example, I have a desktop and a laptop. Sometimes I have to work on the laptop and would like to use the desktop’s keyboard (much nicer for typing) and its mouse (instead of the touchpad of the laptop : less errorprone). Synergy allows me to switch from one screen to the other just by moving the mouse out of the bottom or top sides of the screens, without effort.

Really a cool tool. Thanks to Denis for letting me know of this tool. Eh, why don’t you give it a try ?
There are alternatives to this setup, like using VNC, but synergy can be very handful, and is pretty simple to setup. Hope this helps.

    Trop bien cet outil!!!

    J’en avais justement besoin depuis qu’on m’a coll un XP ct de mon portable. Comme a c un ptit peu plus pratique pour tester un site web sous IE.

    Par contre, il me manque juste la possibilit de passer d’cran en cran avec un raccourci clavier, pour viter d’utiliser la souris. Mais bon, dj c’est trs trs bien.
