It is multiplatform (supporting Windows, macOS, Linux, and others), and supports text copy and paste.
Synergy – A free software option that allows users to use a single keyboard and mouse to control multiple computers over TCP/IP.Developed in 1996 by David Chaiken at DEC. It also provides ancillary functions like clipboard sharing. x2x – Software for the X Window System that allows the console (keyboard and mouse) on one X terminal to be used to control another X terminal.Multiplicity does not permit combining computers with different operating systems, like macOS and Linux. The modern alternative would be the combination of an HDMI switch and a USB switch (aka a KVM), but the software-hardware comparison remains equally valid. Multiplicity can emulate the capability of the KVM switch and let one display serve all the connected computers.

Multiplicity comes in two versions the standard Multiplicity has the ability to copy and paste images and text between computers, while Multiplicity Pro can control up to nine client computers and can copy files, folders, and other data between machines.
Switching is triggered by movement of the mouse to the appropriate side of the screen (or keyboard shortcuts, if desired), both from the desktop and in full-screen video modes. It is closer in concept to a KVM switch, but while these have multiple cables to each computer, with Multiplicity the keyboard and mouse remain connected to the host computer and input is forwarded from the host to client machines via network connections - typically over TCP/IP port 30564. Multiplicity is unlike remote desktop applications in that instead of opening windows to a client computer on a host computer’s desktop, the mouse pointer and keyboard focus shifts from one computer to another.
