Two Displays, One Problem

I like to watch news on my desktop screen (via a Hauppauge TV card) while computing on the laptop, so it's easy to just move my eyes up and down to see the two screens.
But, it's a huge pain to close the lid on the laptop every time I have to type something on the desktop keyboard or fish around for the desktop connected mouse.
I needed a way to operate the desktop using my laptop keyboard and mouse.
