Synergy - the software data switch

Do you have multiple computers at home, each with its own screen? Have you ever thought about controlling them both with only one keyboard and mouse?

Here's the solution:
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/

Many people nowadays have at least a desktop and laptop, but working on both simultaneously can be a pain because of the constant switch between keyboards and mice. Synergy allows you to control one PC from another one seamlessly, you just move the mouse from one screen to the other one! And you can even copy & paste between computers!!

Synergy is a client/server application that you install on the machines you want to control. The machine with the keyboard and mouse you'll use to control the others is configured as a server and the others as clients. Synergy can be used across different Operating Systems!
