I've recently switched to using
synergy to share a single keyboard and mouse between multiple machines. Previously I would log into my desktop machine (which had the biggest amount of screen real-estate) and then RDP into other machines as necessary. Now with synergy I can use a single keyboard and mouse. It was very easy to set up, and can be configured to auto-start when your computer launches or when you log in (altho I leave it on manual). I doubt very much that this is the only offering in this space, but since they keywords are so general it is hard to know what exactly is out there. Quite possibly there will be commercial applications out there with more features (please leave a comment if you know of any as I would be interested in doing a comparison), but synergy is free (GPL) and seems quite adequate.
Bruce likes it too.
