 What? From Linux to Windows? Over to the Mac? Over to Linux again? Over to Windows? What? How did he do that? The Nassita mouse from Phoenix is ergonomically designed and comes with an 8200 DPI sensor and Omron switches. Click the link in the video description to learn more. This video, back from March 31st of 2012, is one of the only videos that shows my personal setup. It's also about how I got this job and my mineral oil computer and whatever else. It's also kind of one of my favorite videos. But, as some people noticed, I had two keyboards and two mice. That's kind of weird. That was because I had two computers on two different monitors. I love that I was able to control both computers quickly and easily, but hated how I would constantly get confused as to which mouse or keyboard was connected to what, and usually I'm not looking down at them when I'm operating them so I don't know what I even am doing. I never got used to that. Enter Synergy. In their own words, Synergy combines your desktop devices together for one cohesive experience. It's software for sharing your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers on your desk, and it works on Windows, Mac OS X, Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, and Fedora. Neat. It allows for near seamless transfer of your keyboard and mouse. It also allows you to do stuff like copy and paste items between computers or just text or whatever. And it even lets you drag and drop files from one computer to another in order to add that whole cohesive experience thing. Essentially, it's a network based non video KVM switch that, if you upgrade to the pro version, is encrypted with SSL. Okay, so that sounds pretty awesome until I mentioned the pro upgrade thing, right? I mean, most of the software I've shown on this channel has been free stuff so far, other than that display fusion thing, I guess. But hold tight for a minute. It's not really that bad. Considering what the program gives you, it's actually pretty cheap. It's 10 bucks or 29 if you opt for Synergy Pro, which gives you SSL encryption and priority access to their support help desk. This payment gets you the program and all of its updates for life. I opted for the $29 option as SSL encryption sounds pretty cool and a lifetime priority support is also pretty cool. Also, because its program is absolutely awesome and I wanted to support the developers. Not only do they publicly display their link to Glassdoor, which shows their page of their employees reviewing their company on everything and it's very highly rated, but they also offer free beer and food like a good startup should. Looking at you Linus. Okay, and that's fine and dandy, but how well does it actually work? Actually mind bogglingly well, and I'm not that surprised as their customers range from Pixar, Cisco, Microsoft, Amazon, Intel, and Facebook to, well, me. Installation is a very simple spam the next button style procedure where all you really have to do is decide if the computer you're installing it on is the server, also known as the one with the keyboard and mouse that you intend to share, or the client, also known as the one without the keyboard and mouse you intend to share, or at least maybe possibly not even plugged in. And that's actually sort of it. If you just kind of want things to work. All you have to do after that is decide where your computers should go on the screens and links synergy server configuration panel. One thing to note here is that even if your computer has a bunch of screens plugged in in a weird configuration or whatever, it still is just kind of shows up as one, meaning even on a triple monitor wide setup. If you have one monitor above it going on any of the computers that you have connected, any of your monitors leaving vertically will go to that one. Even if it's like super far to the right and there's computers above that, it will still go to the one that is configured as above your computer. There are also advanced server settings, which most of which I honestly would leave default and hotkeys, which are actually pretty wicked. These allow you to assign key presses to rapidly switch which computer is capturing your keyboard and mouse. This is really helpful if you have a massive amount of screen real estate or a bunch of computers hooked up as moving your mouse around the vast plains of desktop Valley can take quite some time. Also, I recommend that you enable the windows option to show the location of your pointer when you press the control key. Once you get above like four screens, things get a little crazy. Synergy already has and will continue to make a galactically impactful difference into how I use computers. If it does for you as well, I'd love to hear about it. This video wasn't sponsored by them at all. They don't even know that I made it. I'd just love to see what kind of crazy setups you guys come up with.
