Synergy is awesome, but unfortunately I can't install it on my work computer due to policy & VPN.

The benefit of SimpleKVM is that I just have to run it on my home PC, and I can switch between work and home.

Nice one. Yes built-in KVMs are great. Btw - if you only have two computers, you can get away with running SimpleKVM on just one of them. Because it can detect a USB device being removed (ie. gone to the other computer) and inserted (arrived at this computer).

Can it throttle individual connections like NetLimiter?

Thanks ranger, I had completely forgotten about ControlMyMonitor.exe. That's how the program originally switched inputs, but was since replaced by win32 calls in MonitorController.cs.

I've removed that external dependency and published a new release.

Yes Windows only; I'll add mac & linux when I get a bit more time.

If you'd like to use a GUI, I wrote SimpleKVM:

https://github.com/fiddyschmitt/SimpleKVM

The GUI makes things (hopefully) a little easier to set up.

It was inspired by Haimgel's project.

It's nice to be able to run the monitor at native resolution and refresh rate, without paying hundreds for a KVM.

Does anyone know how it implements the virtual drive?

I can't see any special drivers so it doesn't appear to be dokan/winfsp/winfuse.

The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood. An easily digestible summary of information and key figures in its history.

Turing's Cathedral (or as my brothers call it: Von Neumann's Cathedral). An awesome account of the history of computation, and the obstacles that had to be overcome.

Cryptonomicon. Hilarious

The Strangest Man, by Graham Farmelo. A biography of delightfully awkward Paul Dirac.

The Library of Babel, by Jorge Luis Borges. Thought provoking and profound.

What software does he use?
