Synergy is awesome! At my last work (science company) we had Linux and windows desktops and I used to use this (with my powerbook) to have one keyboard/mouse shared between for linux, windows and OS X. Just don’t use windows last he server as it seems to have some stability issues (windows that it, not synergy). It did freak out management a bit though when they sat down at my desk.

In my case, my desk is glass and my mouse refuses to work properly, so oddly I prefer to use my laptop keyboard and trackpad. Wonder if I can still get one of those old mice with a rollerball?

That is seriously cool!

Something you didn’t point quite make clear that it sounds like this will do is this: you can plug the keyboard and mouse into the desktop machine, and then all you need to do with your laptop is put it on the same network. Right? So only need to plug in power.
