Hi there,

We're so glad you were pleased with our customer service and installation process!

We are currently working on the next version of Synergy, which our Development team are looking at adding the drag and drop feature to.

Unfortunately, we cannot give an estimation of how long this will be, but rest assured this issue is very important to us.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review - we really appreciate it!

Many thanks,

NOW IT WORKS PERFECTLY!

2026 UPDATE: The current version 3 is an absolute dream to install. It even works with a single screen. Drag the mouse outside of screen 1 (it disappears), then switch the screen input to computer2, and voila, the pointer sits on the desktop!
===================================
As a macOS user and after paying US$29 for a program which un-compiled is available for free, I expect a seamless and polished installation. While the program has good reviews from other users, I was unable to install properly and it never worked for me. I just don't have the time and patience to fiddle with the installation for hours... Requested a refund and received the funds within hours.
The one-star rating is for the installation process only.

Hi Peter!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback is really valuable to us.

We understand that installation can seem a little technical, that's why we are currently working on creating more detailed explanations and user guides to make the initial installation process a lot easier to understand and follow.

There are a lot of benefits when paying for Synergy, one of which is 24/7 access to our excellent Support Team who we are extremely proud of. They can more often than not, solve any problems to do with Synergy, so we are really sorry that our Support Team didn't have the opportunity to solve the problem for you.

We're sorry that it didn't work out how you'd hoped, but glad you had a positive experience using our refund process. Sometimes things just don't work out, which is exactly the reason why we have our 100% Seamless Guarantee!

If you do find yourself in a situation where you need to use one mouse and keyboard across multiple computers again, we'd love to have you back!

Many thanks,
The Synergy Team at Symless

Great software

Great software, works across platforms and OS versions. Support (if you need it, I never did until an XP issue, yes, I still have XP on a workstation) is extremely fast and helpful. The copy-and-paste between machines is very useful.

Seems to be a GREAT product but installation documentation could be better!

Seems to be a GREAT product!! Installation was a bear. Tech support got back to me quickly via email but due to time difference I was unable to set-up a support session and ended up fiddling around for several hours until I finally got it to work.
STRONGLY SUGGEST the team write better instructions and provide a step by step youtube for installation and firewall settings.
If installation had better documentation it would get an unreserved FIVE STARS.

Best productivity tool

As a productivity tool, I rank this one of the best! I need to run two versions of Mac OS and Windows 10. I can do this with one keyboard and one mouse.

UX needs improvement, but otherwise it works for me.

The software is a little unclear at some parts, and it could be made more user friendly.
But Synergy's good customer support definitely makes it work.

Hi Philip, we agree, the UX in Synergy 1 needs improvement. We're actually working on the next major version, and we assembled a new team for this. Realizing that our UX needed improving, you'll be glad to hear that our first hire on this team was a UX Designer (read more about this on our blog: https://symless.com/blog/putting-ux-first). I'm glad to hear that our Customer Support made up for the UX on this occasion. Thanks for using Synergy. Thanks, Nick

Synergy at the top

I have used Multiplicity for years from Stardock. It had it's quirks requiring me to unload and restart the server and client on all machines about twice/month (I use my computers every day for 4-5 hours -sad isn't it?). When I updated a recently purchased laptop to Win10 1903, Multiplicity stopped communicating with it. I gave up after hours and hours of troubleshooting and searched for a replacement. I looked at all the reviews, and even downloaded a couple. Some of the K/Ms required a subscription service - not good. Others charged for each monitor you used - not good. Synergy was within the top of almost every review. I had to contact the excellent support at synergy (thanks Daniel) to get it set up. However If I had completely read the manual I would have had no problems. Support was very patient with me. My biggest complaint is the lack of transferring files with drag & drop or even copy and paste. The forums say it is coming. Also with high network traffic such as copying huge directories, I notice the mouse really slows down on the clients.

Hi Mike!

Thanks so much for leaving us a 5-star review, we really appreciate it.

We're so glad that your journey finally brought you to Synergy, we're grateful to have you in the community!

Our user manuals were a bit confusing before, but we're now working on improving these, so your feedback on this is very useful!

For the issues you're having with mouse lag, we have a guide on our Help section on how to stop this called "How to fix lag" which should help you. If not, please contact the Support Team and they can take a closer look.

Enjoy using Synergy!

Many thanks,

Synergy by Symless enables you to use one keyboard and one mouse on multiple machines and also to cut and paste from machine to machine. However sometimes, after a while, i find that cut and paste stops working. I look forward to having drag and drop between machines.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking to the time to leave us a review!

Unfortunately, the cut and paste issue is a known bug and we are looking to get this resolved in the next upgrade.
You'll be pleased to hear that our Development team are looking at adding the drag and drop feature to Synergy 3.

I was having problems installing Synergy. The Synergy team was very helpful and patient with my problem. I the installer was the problem getting Synergy installed. My only suggestion for inexperienced computer users is to Print out all the installation instructions before
attempting installing software.
