Well, yesterday a lot of reasons, I decided to bite the bullet and am happy to say that the product is perhaps a bit better than advertised! So far it has been rock solid with a mix of operating systems. Synergy configuration is very flexible. With my main machines(the ones whose keyboards and mice were reasonably accessible) I can cycle between screens by mousing to the left border and I also have ctrl keys set up for direct jumps to these and other machines. You can do all kind of mouse transitions - above/below screen etc., but I didn't like having to deal with overshoots going for menus, the dock or the scroll bar of a maximized window. This feels like a HUGE productivity gain because I can now jump to another machine start typing(pasting url's takes this way beyond tabbed browsing) or open/use an app. Before switching machines was more expensive and without cut and paste not that advantageous but now I'm in heaven with Tank - the true hero of the matrix :-) I’d seen a tool called Synergy way back and but always was skeptical it would really work as advertised and didn’t want to fool with installing more stuff on my already overtaxed LAN.
