I tried synergy, with the hope that I could control a Linux media PC from both Linux and Windows machines. Unfortunately it was too flaky, e.g. control keys never being released (I think it's https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/issues/9 https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/issues/9 ). These days I use x2x over SSH. I don't use it on Windows, but then again I don't use Windows ;) I have two system services which poll the surrounding WiFi networks: when I'm at home, I can control the media PC by moving off the left of my screen; when I'm at work, I can control a more powerful desktop by moving off the right (the latter goes through some multi-hop reverse SSH tunnels).
