I'm familar with KVMs but what I'd like to do is simply use the same Apple Keyboard/Mouse for both my thunderbolt iMac and my thunderbolt Mac Mini. Any recommendations for keeping this as minimalist and space saving as possible? (BootCamp/Windows7 will occasionally be used on the iMac.)

Hi, just wondering, would Screen Sharing work for running both at a time for you?
While I use Screen Sharing all the time, this needs to be hard-wired.
Zathrak, look into a free application called Synergy. It lets you use a keyboard/mouse on multiple computers. It works like a client/server type of environment. Both computers must be on the same network for this to work.
Check out the website and see if this serves your purpose. http://synergy-foss.org/
Thanks a ton JShimazaki for that suggestion. I still need it to be hardwired and found a simple 2 x 1 USB Splitter that should work but I'll def be using Synergy for things in the very near future.
