I tried Multiplicity once and was really impressed. They have a trial period if you wanted to check it out.

You could use Bluetooth to connect them to both computers if they support it. This requires some setup, and you may need to unpair and re-pair sometimes, but it eliminates the need for USB receivers.

This is one of those multiple reasons why I vastly prefer to use the Logitech K800 Wireless Illuminated keyboard. It uses a Logitech Unifying receiver with an accompanying, specially designed USB extension cable, which eliminates the need for Bluetooth and all the various issues commonly associated with Bluetooth. I use this keyboard on my lap so, I have to grab it a lot, and, there simply are no other keyboards that let me do this with ease:

Thanks hdmi, I'm going to try using input director.
My current setup is 2 separate pc, sharing 1 monitor, mouse and keyboard. 1 pc needs to be completely offline.
I'll post later with updates
