2x PC's via 1x wireless keyboard and mouse.
I'm using Synergy Enterprises at this mo via a 30 day trial and it works a treat but at $80 a year its expensive.
Does anyone have an alternative so I can control 2x PC's via one wireless keyboard and mouse but I don't want to use a KVM.
Login to the first PC and remote desktop onto the other PC.
Not the same as having 2 monitors is it running side by side.
Hook up 2 monitors to the graphics card if your main pc has this.

Found out that Synergy has a free open source version available so dropped the paying version and choose the open source.
Works a treat :)
Link to the software is HERE
