Share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display (even if one system has multiple displays)– without special hardware. Sounds awesome– could make me opt for a laptop/desktop combo instead of switching to a laptop exclusively. Synergy

kvm switch? I don’t see how you can get around “special hardware”
That’s the amazing thing about Synergy. It’s something like a software kvm switch. According to the website, you have one computer which runs the Synergy server.
