get a KVM switche setup: 1 part hardware, 1 part software. Hook up a single keyboard and mice to all desktops, keeping the monitors seperate, and use the software one s you can seemlessly transition the mouse and keyboard between the desktops.

Here's something someone else wrote if I'm too vague:

Post by: BlackBox on July 11, 2010, 02:01:37 PM: It seemed to work fine for me, it was pretty much instant from what I remember. I do recall having to tweak the advanced settings in the program to change the way it captures and releases mouse input. (can't totally remember why, I think there was some weird flicker or something like that)

The only other consideration, is if you're going to play a fullscreen game with it activated, you have to press scroll lock to lock the cursor onto the screen the game is on (otherwise the game will randomly lose input focus when the cursor gets switched "off screen").
