Multiplicity lets you control multiple computers with a single keyboard and mouse. Each monitor is connected to its own PC. When the user moves the mouse over to a given monitor, the user is then controlling that PC. It's ideal for power users, engineers, graphics designers, gamers, or anyone else who has ever seen the benefit of multiple monitors but wants the full power of multiple computers working seamlessly together.

    I have not tried Multiplicity, but I do use Synergy. The one really useful feature the Pro version of this appears to have that Synergy does not [yet] have is the file copying between workstations. I get around this in Synergy by having a shortcut on each desktop to the desktop on the other workstation.

    When I heard about it, I thought it was great (most importantly for using my PC's mouse and keyboard for my laptop).
    I tried it and it worked quite well. But, after I found Synergy, I see no reason to buy Multiplicity...

    The software works as advertised. Unfortunately it only works for multiple Windows machines. Synergy is still the best option across multiple platforms.

    AWESOME... getting ready to purchase as I type.

    It's really nice if you have a dual monitor setup but two computers. Can you say power? I've been waiting for something like this for a while.

    This program failed to perform for me. I punched holes in the hardware router firewall, allowing different port configurations. I disabled all software firewalls. I could not get it to function. There is no FAQ or forum to try to get answers.
