So, I hosted a "code-retreat" style event at my last job. http://coderetreat.org/
I already had my mouse & keyboard on a usb hub-- and my buddy Evan had a big desk, so I just pulled up a chair next to him and plugged in. We were both able to type/mouse at any time. It was oddly intimate. I think there are some pro setups that allow that, but also allow for multiple mouse/keyboard cursors at the same time.
