If you have multiple computers next to each other, you'll want to check out Synergy, an awesome open source (GPL) application that lets you "share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s)."
This is awesome for use with my tablet, simply slide the mouse cursor across and I'm mousing and keyboarding on the tablet. Since it's usually in its dock next to my monitor, this works perfect.
Configuration was not exactly intuitive, but once it's going it works great.
