Alternative to Synergy

[peejosity]

Hey guys, Just wondering if anybody is using something similar to synergy but more stable and less buggy? Of course it has to be good with games (WoW) so any idea's suggestions would be great.

Multiplicity from Stardock is like $30-$50 depending on your license need.

It works quite well, doesn't suffer from the spin of doom.

So it works well with games? Doesn't lag them down at all?

Cheers for response

Multiplicity comes highly recommended from me. Never any problems with it, very stable. And there's some nice bonuses there like copying files across networks. Multiplicity Pro supports up to 6 computers.

I've been using Multiplicity for dualboxing for over two years, originally I wasn't even broadcasting keystrokes or anything, I'd just mouse back and forth hammering keys as I did...

I setup Synergy recently because I wanted more than 1 slave machine but the whole spin-spin-spin issue has me frustrated and I'll probably spring for the pro version of Multiplicity soon.

I also use Multiplicity and I LOVE it. Perfect companion to Keyclone.

So I got the Multiplicity Pro and I must say it is fantastic! Got it setup at the moment so on PC is above the main and the other is to the right. Only thing I don't know how to fix at the moment is if I click in one of the slave PC's WoW Window while running WoW maximised in window mode, the cursor gets stuck in that screen unless I press the "windows" button to show the taskbar so I can go back to the master screen... Any idea's?

Thanks for the suggestion btw... Very Happy

I'm still yet to finish / polish my setup before I can post any pics

Thanks again guys...

Right click your multiplicity icon in the lower right part of your desktop. Choose configure, and check out the "Switching" tab.

Well none of those boxes are ticked, should I just setup a hotkey or something so it switchs when i hit the key?

should i start thinking about pulling into keyclone a synergy-like set of functionality? so you'd just run keyclone and, according to configuration via the setup panel, be able to mouse into the adjoining screens on other keycloned machines?
