The MAC comes with screen sharing software built in. I currently rely on that to do what you are wanting.
I turn on screen sharing on the MAC (not in front of a MAC right now to tell you exactly where to go in settings), and connect with it through the free software client VNCViewer. That way you use your existing mouse/keyboard to interact with the MAC. Not perfect, but it works quite well and it's free.

I have used Synergy[^] for this. Worked well for the year I needed to work on a Mac laptop and a Windows desktop.
It isn't free. I bought it on special, but current price is $20.
It works very well assuming your computers are on the same network....

have you tried synergy?
I saw it free

I've used Synergy for years to share my mouse/keyboard between Win/Mac/Linux machines.

I've seen a program called Synergy that probably does what you want. I believe LAPD was using it when I heard about it. You roll the mouse pointer off the edge of one screen and it appears on the other monitor. The keyboard control follows the mouse.

You can use TeamViewer. This is what I do. I have a MAC Mini.
I also have a KVM with a button I hit.
But I found I like the TeamViewer screen on my other monitor.
Now, I run Dual Monitors on Windows, and a single monitor on the Mac.
It freaks the kids out when you move the mouse from the MAC screen over to the PC Screen!

I feel your pain. I am currently working on a Linux/Windows setup of four computers, 6 monitors. I use a combination of Stardock's Multiplicity and X-Windows to work from one keyboard/mouse/sound card. Unfortunately, Stardock doesn't support Macs.
Multiplicity is like Synergy--as the mouse leaves the edge of one screen/system, it automatically switches to the next screen/system. And it does support multiple monitors on each system. Sound from outboard systems can be piped to the keyboard/mouse attached system.
Cut and paste between systems works like a champ. I sometimes do things like copy an error message on one system, mouse over to another system and paste the message into Google search. That way, I can keep the entire error situation on the screen and do an exact search on another.
It also supports drag-and-drop of files between systems. I don't use this feature all that much but it's nice to have it available.
For Linux systems access, I bring up X-Windows on a Windows system, then use Multiplicity between Windows monitors.
I highly recommend Multiplicity for anyone who has to work with multiple Windows systems.
Maybe you could configure a remote access to the Mac from another Windows system running Multiplicity? It's relatively inexpensive--something like $40 to support 9 computers.
Hope this helps.

Dang! I still have some well-aged 22.2 volt (5000 mAh) Lithium Polymer batteries, about 800 g each. They are even more volatile than Lithium Ion and should react even more spectacular to being bitten.
But if you think that's not a smart thing to do...

Ahhh, so if it explodes is a genuine product, otherwise it's a fake.
It's useful to know these things so you don't get ripped off.

So it's OK to keep on biting the lead-acid battery in my car then?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

The plastic case is too tough. Slurp it dry with a straw.

So you attacked the test from the side instead of head on? 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
