If you had a wired mouse I would say to use a kvm switch to switch between the two computers, but they generally only use 1 screen.

I'd go for the KVM switch because it doesn't even need a LAN connection (or a special program running on both). Depends on the specific need.

0	As said before, Synergy is the easiest way to do this, but both the computers have to be on the same network. answered Oct 18 '10 at 01:24 fruitpunch36 406●18●20●28
