Thought I'd share this software I think is pretty great.

Synergy is free and open source software for sharing one mouse and keyboard between multiple computers. Works on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android and Apple iOS.

I currently have my 17 Work Dell, Macbook Pro and a desktop tower alongside each other, use the MacBooks trackpad to control and send files between all 3.
 
Nice find... and thanks for this.

I have been using Microsoft Garage Mouse Without Borders, which works OK but is a bit limited.

I was even contemplating one of the J5 Create USB Wormhole thingys, but your link seems to be just perfect.

Downloading now.

I just made payment of $5, you can donate anything even $1, you then get premium feature of copying files but otherwise the keyboard and mouse sharing is still free.

It just works so well I would of paid $10
 
That looks more than useful. Thanks Hemps!

That copy files feature :eek:
 
Used this awhile ago, has a few issues when you use it a lot, like forgetting which key combo's were pressed. Pity it stopped working on Mac also.
