  I have three Macs, a laptop and two desktops (iMac, Mac Pro). I often have my laptop in front of me on my desktop when making docs, presos, etc. It would be nice if there was a way to extend keystrokes from the laptop (via Bluetooth?) to the desktops.

  Is this possible?

  i dont think he wants to see the desktop screen on his laptop - he wants to use the laptop keyboard as his desktop keyboard, which synergy basically enables.

  Yo dMullins - let me know what you think. Ive used it for a long time now and have never really had probs. Low latency for everything & supports multiple computers too so you could essentially control 10 computers with one keyboard and mouse, it works kinda like having external monitors - go to the edge of monitor one and you're controlling computer 2.

  Try this. http://sourceforge.net/projects/…
  Significantly easier.
  Same thing, just with a nice wrapper on it.

  Use this between Mac's: http://www.abyssoft.com/software…

  Works like a charm over LAN, not too shabby over WiFi.
