Software KVM

I run 2 PCs on my desk and dont have the space for 2 keyboards and mice. I don't use both frequently enough to pay for a hardware KVM. I just found Synergy+ which is a kind of networked software KVM. You still need a screen on each PC, but one keyboard and mouse can be used for multiple PCs. As you roll your mouse off one edge of the screen, control is passed to the next PC. The PC with the mouse and keyboard is the server and the clients are all the PCs you want to control.

Once it is set up is is really easy to use. Not sure if anyone else will find this useful, but I thought I would mention it.
