Synergy and not sharing keyboard

To keep this as short as possible, the size of my desk and the size of 
my huge 17 inch Apple Studio Display (CRT), I can only arrange it so my 
iBook G4 sits in front of me, while the keyboard, mouse, and screen for 
the G3 sit to the left.

Due to the position of the G3's mouse (it has to be on the right of my 
laptop because there is no room for it on the left, my laptop's mouse 
is there), the fact that it's only a one button mouse whereas my 
iBook's mouse is 3+scrollwheel, and that I regularly change typing 
between the two, I'd rather share only the mouse and leave the 
keyboards alone.

That way I don't have to worry about which screen I'm typing in; I'll 
know keypresses go to the respective computer.
