Since Synergy has been working for me since Windows 7, I have not found the need to download and review any of these options.

There are other available software KVM options available. You may be tempted to select 'Realtime' in Step 5 above, but doing so may cause the server machine to lag. There will be a confirmation window, so click 'Change priority'. Right click each application listed in Step 4, check 'Set priority' and set it to 'High'.It helps to make sure the list is sorted by the 'Name' column. Locate 'synergy.exe', 'synergyd.exe', and 'synergys.exe'.Select the 'Details' tab on the 'Task Manager' window.You should see a list of tabs at the top of the 'Task Manager' window. Make sure 'More Details' is selected on the bottom.

On the 'server', open Task Manager (right click taskbar and select 'Task Manager').

It lags to the point where it's usable, but with a lot of patience. The solution: The mouse and keyboard work fine on the server. Mouse Lag on Synergy Client (Windows 10)įrom time to time, the mouse movement on the client lags, but works fine on the server. I have not tried Barrier yet because Synergy still works with Windows 10. If you want to try a newer free version of Synergy, an actively developed (still open source) version of Synergy was created a call Barrier on GitHub. Note the original open-source application has not been updated since October 2017, but still works well.ĭownload Synergy v1.8.8 from SourceForge for Windows, Linux, or Mac

My currently used version of Synergy is the source version that is freely available at SourceForge and the one I use for my dual Windows 10 setup. Many reviewers have noted Synergy by Symless is slower and does not work as well.

Symless is a commercial upgrade of SourceForge, but requires an active internet connection to work. If you Google 'Synergy', you'll find results from SourceForge and one by Symless. If I ever purchase another machine, it can be seamlessly added to my setup. Best of all, when my laptop isn't connected, the mouse still works on my desktop machine.Īt the end of the day, my one keyboard and mouse works across three monitors from two different Window 10 machines. My Windows 10 laptop is the Synergy 'client'.Īfter setup (basically designating the IP address and monitor orientation), the 'Synergy' application can be configured to start on boot-up.So I have my keyboard and mouse connected to the desktop.

My Windows 10 desktop is the Synergy 'server' because it is always on.

My second machine is also Windows 10, but a desktop machine that is always on and servers as a mini-server for other purposes around the house.

When at home, I use the laptop monitor plus a connected laptop (via HDMI). I have a Windows 10 laptop that I regularly use outside my home at coffee shop or other homes. Best of all, this open-source software is free. Another benefit is it works across different operating systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Additionally, copied text on one machine can be pasted onto the screen of a different computer. The keyboard and mouse are connected to a computer dedicated as the KVM server and the mouse seamlessly moves between different monitors from client computers. It works slightly differently by allowing multiple computers with their own monitors, to share a single keyboard and mouse in a client/server setup. But these days, I'm changed to using a software based KVM. In the past, I would purchase a hardware KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) to connect multiple computers together.
