Basically I have my big monitor on one computer which does the searches and my Gmail etc and I have the dev station where I'm doing some coding to stop my brain going to mush while I am a bit ill (Shingles). The scenario is simple. I search on one machine, I find a good link and a good page and I want to cut and paste the link from one computer to another.
Yes I know that the mouse is a "physical" device, but my mind thinks that its the thing that controls the pointer of the screen I am currently looking at therefore why should it matter about cut and paste? Now back in the old XWindows days I would often have 2 machines or more on the go but I would have Emacs running on both boxes at the same time so there was never a problem.
I want a magic mouse that can link to two computers, respond based on where I am looking and just work like I want.

If both Machines are Macs, the awesome answer is called "teleport".
I've heard good things about Synergy
Take a look at Multiplicity by Stardock. http://www.stardock.com/products/multiplicity/
It looks like its exactly what you want.
I'm also using Synergy. It works seamlessly between my two Windoze machines but my colleague was using it on his Mac/Win combination before discovering Parallels...
