A Logitech Flow alternative for any keyboard and mouse
Logitech Flow lets one Logitech mouse and keyboard roam between two computers, but only if you own supported Logitech hardware. EasyKVM does the keyboard/mouse handoff between a Mac and a PC with whatever hardware you already have, adds audio, and also switches one monitor's input between the two computers. $29.99 once.
The catch with Flow: it's Logitech-only
Logitech Flow (in Logi Options+) is genuinely nice. Move your cursor to the screen edge and your supported Logitech mouse and keyboard follow, clipboard included. But it requires Flow-capable Logitech devices on both ends. If your keyboard or mouse isn't a supported Logitech model, Flow isn't an option at all.
EasyKVM is hardware-agnostic: any keyboard, any mouse. It works with a screen per computer or with one monitor shared by two computers. On a shared monitor, press a hotkey and the monitor input switches over DDC/CI while keyboard, mouse, and audio hand off to the other machine. Flow keeps each computer on its own screen and can't switch a monitor.
