Version: Synergy 1.3.1
"Handy KM utility for those using multiple computers concurrently"
Pros: This is an open source product (check out www sourceforge net) and appears clean; especially useful when working desktop beside a laptop allowing a full-size keyboard and mouse to control both machines. When both are running Windows (one 98SE, the WinXP-pro) could find not character mapping problems. Can arrange multiple TCP/IP linked computers as being beside (left or righ) or above / below each other and move seamlessly from one to another.
Cons: Even though using high-speed (100mps) network and a Pentium D 3.0 ghz PC as the server, there are occasionally some annoying lags (but this could be the MS laser mouse that I am using ... have not tried other mice to pinpoint).

There is some lags but i only get it when switching to the computer not connected to the mouse.

sourceforge) as this is a mature product developped by various contributers. My environment was between a WinXP-Pro as KM server and Win98SE laptop and could find no problems with the mapping of characters. Very flexible in arranging an array of computers left-right and/or top-bottom.
