Synergy is great. I use it for sharing my mouse and keyboard between my Windows desktop and MacBook Pro. I had some latency issues on WiFi with Synergy 1.x, but that seems to be resolved with 2.x. Licenses are very cheap for their commercial offering and I would highly recommend supporting them!

I've not had good luck with the 2.x releases. Random mouse moves, disconnects, jumping to the center of the screen, mouse not wanting to move between screens and odd clipboard issues. Life is too short, I went back to a KVM.
Mostly the same boat here. I've been using Synergy for a very long time to share between Win desktop and a Macbook. I haven't switched over to 2.x yet so I just have an ethernet adapter on my macbook to deal with the wifi latency issue. But for the license price I paid I've gotten very good use out of this particular software.
