- Quequau 9y agoYeah, I can see how it might not work for everyone but for my needs it's pretty well suited and become part of my everyday workflow.
- jsight 9y agoYep, that is what I use for the same usecase. There is really very little point to a hardware KVM at this point.
- mark-r 9y agoThe remaining use case is when you want to share a monitor along with the keyboard and mouse.
- zedzedb5 9y agoI cannot live without this software. I'm using it to control several computers with a wall of screens. My T460p is the server.
- matthewaveryusa 9y agoFYI synergy is free and oss[1] but I would still recommend paying for it because it's priced fairly and I want to support the development behind it. I think synergy is text-book "how to make money with oss." [1] https://github.com/symless/synergy-core https://github.com/symless/synergy-core
- eigenrick 9y agoI, too, tried in vain to buy a decent quality 4k KVM. Oddly the video worked better than the USB mouse/keyboard. (?) Having failed the KVM route, I, too became a Synergy fan. I don't think Synergy caused the decline of KVM, but it synergy's success is certainly correlated. :)
