A while ago I found this useful program that lets one computer share its mouse and keyboard to another computer.

The program is called Synergy

I think you can use it on max 5 computers because you can only share the mouse and keyboard to one screen on the left, one on the right, one over and one under at the same time.

I find it very useful when using one computer to surf on net and one to control or watch over something at the same time.


You just install the same software to all the computers you are gonna use.

I wont make a tutorial unless asked but I will tell you that the computer that shares mouse and keyboard should be the windows 7 because when i tried to host with xp it didn't work, it probably has something to do with the windows 7 ruling over the xp in the IP stuff.

If you are interested just google synergy2 :D

By the way, if you want another better software with more functions then look up Maxivista, but that one isn't free so I stick to synergy.
