Here I talk about using one Keyboard and Mouse with more than one computer with a free application called Synergy. This is a free alternative to a KVM but requires a network.
Can you use a dual monitor setup for both machines using the same monitors on both machines? I have 2 monitors, 2 pcs, 2 mice, 2 keyboards. Currently, both pcs can use both monitors (I have to switch the input on the monitors). Most often, I use one pc with dual monitors. I still want that capability, but I'd like to also be able to have one monitor with one pc so that I can use both pcs simultaneously, too. Is there a way that Synergy can support what I want to use it for? Make sense?
good one very informative. keep sharing stuff like that

you can also use Input director, i found it easier to setup, but that is only if you have 2 windows computers
