Tool of the Day: Synergy

I’m a big evangelist for Synergy, a cross-platform software based keyboard and mouse switch. This is how the site describes the software:

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It’s intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).

I use three computers throughout the day – a Vista laptop for email and Twitter, a Mac Mini for testing on native Safari and synching my iPod Touch and a Vista desktop with two large monitors for development. Without Synergy I’d be swimming in keyboards and mice.
