I've been using Synergy for about 5 years and at the moment have it set up with a desktop and three laptops using Windows 7, 8.1, 10 and Ubuntu with seamless control of keyboard and mouse on the active window (monitor). May I suggest if you are still around and looking for an answer a software based alternative that might possibly suit your needs: I know this thread is a couple of weeks old but. Seems like there is a massive range from cheap KVM switches at < $50 all the way up to hubs and docks that are several hundred dollars. Would like to spend as little as possible, but quality would take priority if I could keep it under $300-$400US. A decent mechanical keyboard would be nice, but at this point, I'm fine with just a decent keyboard that would work with both MacOS and Windows. Would be totally fine keeping a second mouse to use with the MBP for swipe capabilities and just share the keyboard and monitors. It would be nice if I could just plug in the MBP, flip a switch and use the peripherals(keyboard w/ the monitors). As general information, I use the MBP for web development and getting a dev environment set up in Windows has been a headache when attempting to switch back and forth between the two different systems. I have been trying to read up online, but it hasn't given me very clear direction. Does anybody have a recommendation on a KVM or Docking station that will allow me to share a keyboard and dual monitors between a gaming PC and a Macbook Pro?
