I’ve thought about this but I assumed it would be too hard to get Synergy installed on employer or client-provided computers. It sounds like you’ve used this setup with multiple clients – is it normal in your field of work to get local admin rights on corporate devices?

Why not use the First party equivalent? Microsoft's Mouse Without Borders claims to do exactly this.
- jdbernard 6y agoBecause my personal machine runs Linux, my corporate machine runs macOS, and my client machine runs Windows. If they were all Windows this might be nice as it claims to support some edge cases Synergy doesn't (primarily logon/UAC).
- jdbernard 6y agoIt's not ideal, but you can run the Synergy client executable (synergyc.exe) without admin rights. You lose the conveniences of having it auto-start and using the GUI configuration, but you still get all the functionality. You also can't use the installer, but you can just copy the Synergy directory from a working machine. You also need a MS C++ runtime DLL, but you can copy that too. I'm not in front of my computer at the moment. I'll edit/reply to this comment with details For example, on my client/project-specific machine (where I don't have admin rights), I have a batch file (start-synergy.bat) that lives on my desktop with: C:\Users\jdbernard\Synergy-1.12.0\synergyc.exe -name client-pc 192.168.1.120
