Popular Post andrewbc836 Posted February 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hello. I am using beta versions of MacOS Monterrey, 12.3 and iPadOS 15.4 with Universal Control, that basically works like Synergy with Apple Devices, but when combining Synergy with Universal Control, it doesn't work. I have my work Windows laptop as the server, and my Mac is the client. Everything with Synergy works fine. If I use the touchpad on my Mac, I can seamlessly move my mouse to my iPad, but when using the mouse from my Windows laptop, it just gets stuck at the side. So I guess my question is if Synergy is working on supporting control through Universal Control, or if it is even possible? I haven't really read into it anywhere to know and I hadn't see any other posts here about it. Thanks. Andy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smabe Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 same issue here using 1.14.5 on macos 12 using a windows PC as the server and the mac as a client. I cannot move my mouse to my ipad when using synergy but I can move it to my ipad using a mouse that is directly connected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Purp Posted January 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2023 ^bump very similar setup here. i make music on my macbook, game on my desktop. I suspect it will work if i use the mac as the mouse / keyboard server, but that means introducing lag into the gaming setup. I am going to test it anyway. maybe with a wired connection it wont be so bad but it means the mac will have to be docked in order for me to use the PC at all (or start fumbling with cables i suppose) -Ill mention here that sidecar does work with synergy. If i want to extend my mac display with sidecar I can move the synergy mouse (controlled by the PC) to the ipad no problem. ^This suggests to me it is a simple fix to just make synergy respect universal control in the same way it does with sidecar. This would be much easier than making a synergy ios app for example :D sorry i talk so much but i think it is all useful in case anyone important reads this thanks ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewbc836 Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 I haven't tried anything out since making this post. I run beta versions of everything macOS or iOS. So I'm always on the latest versions of OSes. I'll have to give it a try again when I'm working from home again, on Friday. I highly doubt anything has changed. I'm also using latest version of Alpha versions of synergy. I'll post an update later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purp Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) anyone have any tips for getting the pc to connect to the mac as a server? it keeps timing out when I try to connect the PC synergy client to mac synergy server. firewall is turned off on the mac but not on pc. if that matters. starting to think this wont work when I do get them connected because there are two "pointers", one belongs to synergy and one to the OS. will still update when I figure it out.
