I just started looking for a KVM switch (keyboard,video,monitor) so I can connect a couple of computers to same equip. When looking around on Newegg they have pages of them ranging from $15 to $1000. I am sure there are a few gay webmasters that are using them, and your suggestions are much appreciated.

I have 3 of them and they work great,



Also depending on what you would want to do. You could also use logmein, if the computer has wifi, you can just do it that way through your browser. Get the basic and best of all it is free.
 
Dunno how many computers you need to hookup to it but I bought this one and it works great for me.

This:
Synergy

Works cross-platform with OSX, Windows, and Linux.

Been using it the past few months with my Macbook Pro and an old Windows desktop for automation stuff/checking landing pages in IE. Works like a charm. The copy and paste feature is golden.

And it's free :)



P.S. Our buddy Matt Cutts uses Synergy.
 
Thanks for the tips. Logmein and Synergy looks like an interesting option, I hadnt really considered a software option
