Best way to share one keyboard and mouse between a Mac & PC?

I have a Mac and pc sitting beside each other. Each has an independent monitor. Currently I am using a two port usb switch to move between the two systems, but it can sometimes be cumbersome to switch between the two quickly. Anyone have any other suggestions for ways to switch between the two systems?

Solution 1:

I have never used it, but you can give Synergy a try. It shares keyboard and mouse on one system with one or more systems using software. It works on macOS, Windows and Linux.

Solution 2:

After @Ömer Rıfat Kuldaşlı posted Synergy I also found something called ShareMouse. Not sure which is the best so far.

Solution 3:

Sharemouse has considerable lag, I can't recommend it. I've been using J5 Create JUC400 Wormhole Switch for years. About 90% of the time it is great. The other 10% it will make you tear your hair out. Having just upgraded to a new Mac I may take this opportunity test Synergy. But if you don't mind the occasional problems, the J5 unit is pretty awesome. Joe Bob says check it out.
