MonitorControl VS synergy-core

I use "Monitor Control" on my Mac Studio to control the brightness of my Dell monitor:

Just wanted to put in a plug for the MonitorControl app. I just installed it, and it enables brightness control for the QN700B from Apple's keyboard. So great not to have to pull up any Samsung menus to adjust it.

Let me introduce you to Monitor Control:https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl

Good free alternative is MonitorControl. Pretty sure it does everything Lunar does but is open-sourced.

You can with monitor control app

I'm glad you asked! I control the volume of them thru the monitor using the back/forward buttons on my mx master 3 mouse via the MonitorControl app, it's great!

Installed https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl and worked like a charm, big thanks!

As a fellow Mac + OLED TV owner, I think you'll appreciate these too. MonitorControl to access brightness settings through your keyboard and Hazeover to darken background and prevent burn-in.

No one has mentioned ShareMouse yet? (https://www.sharemouse.com/) In my experience it has worked way better than Synergy. I switched after getting fed up with the synergy developers not responding to various multi-year old bugs that made the software unworkable for me (e.g. https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/issues/5992).

The only downside is that you have to "renew maintenance" to continue receiving updates to ShareMouse after a year. But I haven't done that yet and it still works fine for me.

I want to be able to do things like Synergy, Steam Link, Unified Remote, and Media Servers between any of these devices, with as little added latency as possible (especially important for steam link)

i've got several fedora linux machines running and sharing their monitors via synergy (https://symless.com/synergy) , all controlled by the keyboard/mouse on the primary synergy server.

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but I've been using Synergy Pro (Windows, macOS, Linux) for years, and it works seamlessly. It lets you share your mouse and keyboard across multiple systems (with or w/o encryption), copy and paste between computers, etc.

I've got an M2 MacBook Air

Per the Advanced... screen under Displays in System Settings, you can link to a Mac or iPad to control it a la Synergy[0]

I have not done it myself, but I do not see why you could not do it with a current-gen Mac Mini

I previously used a software solution to do the same thing and it was actually really good, better even. It might have been this software but I have to check to be sure - https://symless.com/synergy - as I’m not at my laptop right now.
