Hi, I currently run 3 accounts, on 3 PC's/monitors/keyboards & mice.
What I would like to do is have one keyboard & mouse and a switch to move between the 3 PC's & monitors, is there such a switch available anywhere?
Any help gratefully rec'd. |

I think this will work for what your wanting, never used it though.

Theuzal Har, I have your solution, and it by far outperforms ANY KVM Switch there is.
Here's the quick and dirty, I Tri-Box the same method as you, Main Char in center, alts to left/right, here's how I, for instance, move my mouse/keyboard input to say, the PC on my right.
I move my mouse to the edge of the screen, it hits the edge. BLAM NOW IT'S ON THE OTHER PC!
I move my mouse to the left edge of that PC's screen, BAM I'm back on Middle PC, or I could keep going right to that monitors edge, then BLAM my cursor wraps around to the PC on the left now!

Or just use Synergy as mentioned above, which is free and does the same job perfectly well :)
Using it across three boxes here on four monitors. Works fantastically. Can't recommend it enough.

I've tried both, and I'll second the endorsement for Multiplicity.
While not free, it does tend to work far more stably in my experiences.
Granted, I was running them in an unusual combination of OS mismatches - so by all means, try software that's free first :)

Odd- what issues did you have?
I'm running Synergy across WinXP and two Linux boxes and not had a problem so far. If you had repeated problems it would be worth telling the Synergy developer team about it (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=59275&atid=490467).

+1 for Synergy
It doesn't "BLAM!" or "BAM!" though; it just works.
