    <p><strong><a href="http://www.inputdirector.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">InputDirector</a></strong> is better than Synergy. Here's why...</p> <ol> <li>It has <strong>built-in AES encryption</strong> functionality (without requiring you to install OpenSSH) for secure transfer of input between machines.</li> <li>It allows cut &amp; paste of text <strong>and files</strong> between machines (by automatically translating to C$ and D$ shares)</li> <li>Based on extensive use with a laptop, it is far more <strong>reliable and stable</strong> than Synergy when reconnecting after undocking &amp; docking. Synergy would frequently just stop working after docking and undocking, requiring me to kill it, restart it, and reconnect. InputDirector rarely has any issues.</li> <li>The configuration UI is <strong>easier to use</strong>, and has <strong>more options</strong>, than Synergy.</li> <li>Lots of little things, like matching of cursor location between machines during screen-edge transitions, and overriding mouse settings of "Slave" machines with those of the "Master" machine.</li> </ol> <p>Beyond that, as far as I can tell, it does everything Synergy does. There's only a Windows version, but apparently it's also Vista compliant as well.</p> <p>I've used both tools extensively, first Synergy, and then InputDirector. InputDirector is just a more robust application. It has all the features of Synergy and then some, plus the key ones listed above. It's website isn't as attractive, and while it isn't GNU GPL'd like Synergy, it free nonetheless, and an oustandingly well-functioning tool.</p>
