Has anyone tried using Barrier to enable using one mouse and keyboard on more than one machine ?
The feature I'm most impressed with is the ability to copy & paste text between different operating systems. I'd be even more impressed if they fixed the UTF-8 issues though. At the moment, copying text from Linux to MacOS works fine. However, if I do it in the other direction all non-ASCII characters are turned into question marks. My native language is Swedish and I need my Å, Ä and Ö!

Why are KVM switches so damn expensive?

Full time work from home setup
So... not so much a KVM but a KM. Interesting product I didn't know was out there. For others there are multiple software options to achieve the same a very similar thing for free with Barrier https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

Gaming with KVM switch
I use the hub to quickly switch between my personal and work machines. If you don't care about FPS games, you can also use a networking input director (like Mouse without Borders from the Microsoft Garage, Input Director and Barrier). Don't pay for Synergy, Barrier is the exact same thing and it's compiled for you.

You can use Barrier which is based off Synergy and comes pre-compiled.

I made Deskreen, open source app to make any device a second screen for computer
https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
Its a fork from Synergy 1.9
synergy these days has been replaced for most serious use by barrier, due to the restrictive synergy license and costs.

I looked at all the ways Microsoft Teams tracks users and my head is spinning
We all know Synergy and for the most part it does get the job done. I paid for the v2 Pro license to support them.
I've moved on though to using Barrier, a synergy-core fork. It's much less buggy and more just works + you get ssl crypto added for free. It's replaced synergy app for me on all OS's.

Repurposed my old triple monitor mount as a keyboard stand for my stream pc. Now no longer have two keyboard on my desk 46” wide desk.
Honorable mentions also go out to Input Director and Barrier (which is just a fork of Synergy, but free).

what good apps are in windows store that arent in ios or android so we can discover new apps
Multiplicity / Synergy / Sharemouse / Barrier: Use the same keyboard and mouse for multiple machines. The latter two works on both Mac and PC. (Thanks /u/tencents123!)

Wie macht ihr das so: Wechsel zwischen privaten Rechner/Home Office Laptop, ohne Bildschirm/Maus/Tastatur/Webcam umzustöpseln
Maus und Tastatur sind am privaten Rechner angeschlossen und dann mittels Synergy Barrier zwischen beiden System geteilt.
