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 none 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 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 in to 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 just love to see what kind of crazy setups you guys come up with now I apparently can't even remember to shave let alone go to the store to buy razors so Dollar Shave Club can at least take care of one of those problems for me by delivering razors right to my door for a lower price than the competitors both my wallet and my face would finally get some relief if I actually you know did the thing joining dollarshaveclub.com means you can afford to shave with a fresh blade anytime you want which feels fantastic when you actually do it and if you even want a better shave you can pair it with dr.
