Teleport shares one mouse and keyboard across multiple Macs
I don’t have two Macs to try this with, but you multi-Mac users out there might want to take a look at Teleport from Abyssoft. It’s just like Synergy in that you can use a single keyboard and mouse on multiple machines. Unlike Synergy, Teleport only works on Macs; the former application works with Windows, Mac and Linux machines, but can be a little buggy on the Mac side. That’s why this is worth the mention for your Macs riunning OS X 10.3 or better.
Once installed and configured, you can move your mouse from one Mac screen to another (and another and another and….). Plus you can drag and drop files between Macs real quick and easy like. It’s freeware, but the author does accept donations if you find it valuable.
This is very, very, very SWEET! My wireless keyboard and Mighty Mouse are now happily sharing between the two Macs. First time I’ve used a mouse with the MacBook, BTW.
I’ve been using Teleport for a while now to use a single keyboard on my laptop and my main machine. It is one of the most useful pieces of software I have ever installed. I thoroughly recommend it.
The drag and drop file copy is superbly implemented. One weird thing- when I use the MacBook in front of the TV it still shares the mouse when the cursor hits the screen edge.
I use Teleport every single day in my setup, I love it!

Anybody know if there is a current one of these for PC. I looked at the synergy program and nothing has been done on it since 2006.
