Featured setups

Built around video recording, this desk pairs a Mac laptop with a Windows PC and a teleprompter for scripted shoots. Synergy lets one keyboard and mouse serve both machines, so editing, scripting, and recording prep can move between them without switching inputs.

Running personal computing, a Lenovo work laptop, and a self-hosted IIS web server from one desk, with Synergy tying all three together under a single keyboard and mouse. A long-time user, this entrant joined back when Synergy was still shareware and was among its first paid subscribers.

Cross-checking how plugins and audio translate between Windows and Mac is the daily routine here. One keyboard and mouse move between both systems via Synergy, so swapping machines to test a project takes a cursor slide rather than a full context switch.

The main PC mounted to the wall drives five displays, while a Zima board, a Lenovo Legion Go running Bazzite, and a Framework laptop on Xubuntu all share the same keyboard and mouse through Synergy. Four very different operating environments, one input set sliding between them.

Live trading charts spread across three separate machines, with Synergy keeping one keyboard and mouse shared between them.

Live streaming and radio broadcasting run simultaneously here on two purpose-built machines, each handling a separate job. Synergy keeps one keyboard and mouse shared across both, so managing a broadcast and the station at the same time doesn't mean juggling two input setups.

Research work at Vanderbilt University runs across four computers and both Mac and Windows, all tied together by Synergy. The setup has been running this way since 2015, with one keyboard and mouse moving between machines so the science, not the hardware, stays in focus.

Physics and computer science work are split across two separate physical networks here, with Windows handling university coursework and Linux managing CS work on the right. Synergy replaced a KVM that made switching painful, and now copy-pasting between the two machines is straightforward.

GNU/Linux Ubuntu on the primary machine, Windows 11 Enterprise on the secondary, one keyboard and mouse sliding between them. The Synergy login screen is already up, ready to tie the two systems together so work can move between operating systems without touching a second input device.

Three machines, three operating systems: a work HP ZBook on Windows, a personal iMac, and an M1 MacBook Air, all sharing one keyboard and mouse. One cursor slides between them, so there's no more stretching to reach a laptop touchpad or adding extra peripherals to an already busy desk.

Three Windows machines sharing one keyboard and mouse for embedded systems design and programming. The cursor moves freely between them, which keeps coding, testing, and design work on separate machines without the need to swap inputs.

The goal here is cutting desk clutter while working across a Windows desktop and MacBook Pro. Rather than switching the keyboard and mouse physically, Synergy handles input sharing so one set covers both machines, with the monitor's input source toggling between them as needed.
