I want to be able to poke around on the personal while on work conference calls… But would love to have the ability to share mouse and keyboard without using Logitech’s native software.
You basically just load software on all wanted systems and tell the software where their screens are and you can seamlessly move your mouse from screen to screen and system to system. You can optionally allow it to keep the clipboards in sync too.
I got in on it like 10 years ago as part of a crowdfunding campaign, but they’re still around and look to be relatively reasonably priced.
I do exactly this, and I have for years! It’s a work laptop, so I can’t install whatever I want. I have a dedicated mouse for the PC and another for the laptop, hdmi switch for a shared monitor, but also a dedicated monitor for both as well. Then a shared keyboard on a 4 port is switch.

I use Synergy for the KB/Mouse sharing.

I love it!
