However, after using it for a little while I can’t recommend it. Setup was easy as pie and the application looks nice. This is a new application that comes from Microsoft’s Garage (MS’s after-hours pet project program). Perhaps with some tinkering I could have but in today’s world I expect apps to be install, run, and up and working. Here’s my review: I couldn’t even get it to work. Synergy is one of the older cross platform software KVM’s used to control multiple computers around. Since this is a lightening review, I’ll touch on my experience with each as quickly as possible. In the past I had a need to be cross platform when I needed to control multiple computers, but since I decided I REALLY couldn’t stand OSX (personal preference… nothing against you Apple guys) I’m back to an all Windows environment. The others on the list are cross platform and will allow you to share between OSX, Windows, and sometimes Linux. Of those listed above Multiplicity and Input Director are Windows only. Thankfully, there are quite a few software based KVM solutions today that can be used to control multiple computers. Software KVM’ to Control Multiple Computers: Two or more computers on the same local network.What You’ll Need to Control Multiple Computers: Thankfully, there are plenty of software based options these days and I’ve put several through the paces…. They did make life easier, but they were clunky to use and required hardware toggles or keyboard controls to switch. A KVM was a piece of hardware with a bunch of cables coming out that allowed you to hook one keyboard and mouse into multiple computers.

In the past the only solution was to use a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) to share a mouse and keyboard between multiple computers. All those keyboards, displays, and mice not only take up a considerable amount of space but moving from one to another can frustrating. Using multiples computers in a single space has always been a pain. What’s the best way to control multiple computers with a single keyboard and mouse? InputDirector.
