I used synergy too, a long time ago, and it worked pretty well.  It used
to be fully open source (and was even in Debian, until stretch), but it
looks like they've close-sourced part of it.  I just found out from its
wikipedia page[1] that there's an open-source fork of called Barrier[2],
which is in Debian (package name: barrier), so it's probably available
in Raspbian too.
