Does anyone know of any existing tools/programs that allow a single keyboard and mouse to be switched between multiple machines ?
For example, if I move the mouse off the left edge of host1's screen I would like it to appear at the right edge of host2's screen.
Try http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ it should do exactly what you want. It also supports different OS, so you can use it with Unix/Linux, MS Windows and Mac OS X.
I use synergy as well. It can be a bit flakey, especially if the master is under heavy load. Otherwise, it's brilliant. It doesn't stop you using the real mouse and keyboard too, if that's what you want.
