If you use multiple computers, synergy is a very nice program. Instead of having 1 mouse and 1 keyboard per computer, you can have 1 mouse and 1 keyboard for all of them. Very useful.

 

I have been following this and was not aware that the original developers stopped the projoect on sourceforge. It has been picked up by another group that is using google project hosting. Link above takes you to the google one.

Here is a related question.

 

What do you think is the ideal set up for how you trade Brownsfan?

How many computers?

How many monitors? One for each future contract?

Ordering on each computer or limit ordering one main computer?

Thanks for highlighting this. I used it for a while but switched to a 'pay' competitor when they stopped developing it (had some bugs). Glad to see it's picked up again, extremely useful program.

have used a simple product from IOGear KVM switch that switches keyboard/mouse control when you doubletap/type the Scroll Lock bar, works just fine.

If you use more than 1 computer, then this is a very nice tool that simplifies your life. I have computers "around" and something like this just saves me from having a mouse here, there, maybe over there, etc.

 

I guess it just depends on how many computers you are using to trade from - if more than 1, then I would check this out.
