Controlling two computers with one keyboard/mouse

Wahzy · 8 Feb 2016 at 20:18

Hey guys,

I have two computers on my desk. With two monitors. I use my main rig for flightsim only. My other rig does everything else; email, apps, web browsing, YouTube etc.

I read somewhere it's possible to ditch my second keyboard and just have one set of peripherals controlling my actions on the monitors.

What do I need and is it something you guys recommend doing?

Cheers,

Alex.

I'll check out the Synergy software.

If I had a more powerful rig I would sell my second PC. It's just convenient bring able to multitask on two systems.

Thanks guys.

I am using the Microsoft one, easy to setup and works great!

Now I've got this app installed, can I hear music/sound from the other computer, on my main one. Is that even possible?
