Presumably many people have more than one computer, such as a desktop + notebook, and many times we will open them at the same time. But have you found that if there are more than one computer set of keyboard and mouse on the table, it is very tiring to switch back and forth. If you can control all your computers at the same time by using just a set of mouse buttons, will you be excited about it?
Synergy
It's a good tool for this! It allows you to share a set of keys on multiple computers and even share the clipboard , and you can simply move your mouse around the screen, just like a computer using multiple monitors. and Synergy
completely free open source, and cross-platform support Win/Mac/Linux
, quite to the force! After use, work efficiency, leg does not sour waist does not ache, desktop also clean, absolutely is the peerless artifact Ah!
How to use
I have 1 desktops ( Windows7
) and a MacBook Pro
laptop () on my desk Mac OS X
, and occasionally use another laptop ( Linux/Win
dual system) to work together, when the key mice on the table start to fight, 3 mouse + 2 keyboards, and constantly move the body to accommodate the computer's position. At this time it is possible, or is very necessary Synergy
to liberate this pain! OK
, let's get started ...
Synergy
One use premise is that multiple computers in your application environment need to be on the same LAN. For example, the family uses a router to share the Internet, and all the computers under it are usually in the same LAN.
Although Synergy
the configuration and use is not difficult, but at present it only English interface.
Set server-side
After all of them have been installed Synergy
, we'll first pick a machine that uses a mouse to set the server side:
Press the Configure Server
Enter Settings screen:
Drag a computer from the top right corner and put it in the box (remove the computer icon and drop it in the top left corner of the trash) to simulate the actual position. For example, my desktop PC
is the server side, MacBook
on the left side of the desktop, as shown in the figure, and then change the name to the computer name of the client computer (the Win
user can be seen in the "My Computer" right-click property). If more than one computer is also added in turn, determined to return to the previous interface, press Start
the start service, so that when using the mouse in the server just slide to the left edge, and then left the mouse will go to the left side of the computer interface, while the keyboard will follow the mouse into the corresponding computer.
Client settings
The client's settings are much simpler than the server side. We come Macbook
on, Synergy
after startup, just select the client mode, and fill in the server's computer name or IP
address. For example, when set up, Start
you can also press to connect to the server.
Relevant to Google on the Internet. Versions are very similar.
Synergy a set of key mice control multiple computers at the same time the artifact! Super Convenient!
