Synergy: Sharing your keyboard and mouse
wraith808:
I would love one of these that doesnt need one screen per computer. After all I have screens that can have more than one input, so it should be possible in some way...
As things stand I tend to use either a kvm or remote admin, but kvms are rarely seamless, and remote admin cant handle games...
I almost bought multiplicity a few times but the clutter of multiple screens just stopped me

A KVM seems like it would be a better solution for you... or Remote Desktop or VNC. They serve different purposes. I want to control a complete computer as a totally separate computer at the same time- you can't two box MMOs if the screen is constantly switching. But on my server, I want to access it remotely, so I use remote desktop for that, and don't connect a monitor. In other words, IMO, you're barking up the wrong tree- there's already software for what you want- this just isn't it. :)
iphigenie:
True
I'm more likely to be playing 2 games in parallel than the same game twice...
wraith808:
Even with two games in parallel (I do that too), unless they're both turn based, it's better to have two monitors- the flip a KVM gives you, or the reduction in performance from Remote Desktop or VNC will likely make one of the games suffer in my experience.
tinjaw:
I still haven't taken the plunge yet. I don't have the time to mess with all this right now. However, I did spot another application today that does the same thing. I don't know if it is any good or not.
Input Director

I'm still trying to puzzle out this Input Director feature:
Mirror input mode - Mouse and keyboard input is simultaneously sent to all systems

Um... what? Clearly somebody has a need for this else it wouldn't have got coded. But again... what?
