Gongalong Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 Hi folks, I currently have a three screen setup with Windows, and also use a Mac Mini (on a fourth screen). Is there an app that will allow me to control the Mac with the same mouse and keyboard as the Windows PC? The absolute ideal is that I can just scroll across from my left-hand screen to MacOS, which sits to the left? So it behaves like a fourth screen in Windows. Thanks

andy_b Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 Synergy was good when I last used it (a while ago). Barrier is a free fork of Synergy before it went paid https://github.com/debauchee/barrier (but not updated in a while. ShareMouse is another that comes recommended (not personally used). 1
FN-GM Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 What monitors do you use? My Dell monitors have this feature. I had no idea until recently. 1
Zbd Posted August 15, 2023 Posted August 15, 2023 Synergy works a treat, I have it currently working between my windows and mac computers. 1
Gongalong Posted August 15, 2023 Author Posted August 15, 2023 What monitors do you use? My Dell monitors have this feature. I had no idea until recently. A mix, and nothing Dell unfortunately. If you have a Logitech mouse and keyboard you can use Logitech Flow as well (not sure if it's restricted to certain models) although I don't have those either. Thanks all for the replies, very helpful!
