To keep this as short as possible, the size of my desk and the size of my huge 17 inch Apple Studio Display (CRT), I can only arrange it so my iBook G4 sits in front of me, while the keyboard, mouse, and screen for the G3 sit to the left.

Due to the position of the G3's mouse (it has to be on the right of my laptop because there is no room for it on the left, my laptop's mouse is there), the fact that it's only a one button mouse whereas my iBook's mouse is 3+scrollwheel, and that I regularly change typing between the two, I'd rather share only the mouse and leave the keyboards alone.

That way I don't have to worry about which screen I'm typing in; I'll know keypresses go to the respective computer.

Does anyone on the list use Synergy? My question, before I bother with
it, is can you share only the mouse and not the keyboard? I'd rather
not purchase an new mouse for my newly-acquired but old G3.

Silly question : "Why?"
It shares both : When you move the mouse of your "main" computer to an
"other" computer, it's keyboard then controls that "other" computer, but
nothing keeps you from still using that "other" computer's keyboard in
parallel.


Maybe I just didn't understand what you meant :-)
