synergy - good or bad?

[AMD_RULES]

Has anyone on here ever used synergy? Would you recommend it and is it easy to setup and use?

Thanks!

I used it for multiboxing in world of warcraft, seemed pretty easy, worked great.

Synergy is great. I use Synergy-Plus on Windows and SynergyKM on OSX.

Works fine.

Yep, works great. Can be a bit finicky at times to get running, but once running it is rock solid.

Biggest problem I've had is sometimes the clipboard feature doesn't work. I'll copy on one machine and it wont transfer to the other. Reconnecting will fix that though.

For Windows only use I think Input Monitor is superior, if you are using multiple OSes then synergy is your best bet. I found it difficult to setup though.

I have been using it for 6+ months or so across Windows XP, 7 and Ubuntu. No problems except that on the XP box, the synergy process occasionally crashes and I have to remotely start it up again.
