This project aims to replace the ‘server’ part of a Synergy setup with a small, networkable KVM. There are a few limitations, though: keyboards don’t work until the OS has loaded (no BIOS access, then), it doesn’t work if the network is down, and setup can be complicated. ![]() is in love with a program called Synergy this program combines the keyboard, mouse, and display of several computers over a network so you’ll only ever have to use one keyboard and mouse it’s as simple as dragging your mouse from one computer to the other. has a device that fixes that with some interesting software and a few USB hacks. Traditionally, a KVM switch would be the solution to this, sharing a keyboard, mouse, and monitor with many different boxes, but this is an ugly solution.
