The software "ShareMouse" lets you control multiple computers from a single mouse and keyboard:
Move the mouse to the monitor of the computer you wish to control and the pointer magically jumps to that computer. Any mouse and keyboard input is transmitted to the corresponding computer.
Similar to a network KVM, ShareMouse transmits mouse movements and clicks through the local LAN. All traffic can be password-protected and AES encrypted.
To switch between computers, there is no additional hardware or press of a button required.
Similar to a keyboard switch, you can seamlessly operate multiple computers on your desk from any mouse and keyboard.
...but never trust the marketing blurb - Let actual users speak:
If you're tired of cluttering up your desk with multiple keyboards and mice, this is the app you've been waiting for.
