Synergy

Synergy

"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)."

I have just started using this at home and I am speechless...

OK, not really, but it is UBER neat. At work I have been dual-monitor forever, but not so at home. Worse, when I bring the work laptop home I have to use the pencil-headed-crap-for-brains-mouse-thingy and the crappy little keyboard. Not so any more. With this I seamlessly scroll over from my desktop 'as if it were a secondary monitor'. I then have total control with my desktop keyboard and mouse EVEN THE CLIPBOARD IS SHARED.

Dude.
