MacBook – How to make a Mac mini and MacBook Pro work together (one keyboard for two Macs)

displaymac-minimacbook pro

I have one MacBook Pro and two monitors (One monitor and one TV. Both of them are connected to my MacBook Pro).

I use this MacBook for business and development work. I would like to simultaneously use this MacBook for development work and one Mac mini I do not have yet for business work.

I want to be able to use the keyboard + Trackpad of my MacBook Pro for my MacBook and my Mac mini. I also want to display the Mac mini output on one of my two monitors (not on the built-in MacBook Pro display).

Any idea how I could set this up?

Synergy is amazing! You can check it out at http://synergy-foss.org/ it's pretty great software! I use it in my office to use one Keyboard and Mouse for a bunch of machines I have. Even works between OSX, Linux and PCs.
