Any way to transfer clipboard between machines on the network?

Working with remote computers (using remote desktop or so) one can usually just transfer clipboard contents between those computer. But say i got 2 computers connected to one monitor via a KVM switch, is there a easy way to transfer clipboards between those?

ditto has a clipboard synchronization mode, although I have never tried how well that works. It's windows only and can only transfer images and text, but I use it even on a single PC due to its clipboard history.

Synergy+ shares your clipboard - it allows you to copy text from one screen, then move your mouse to another screen, and and simply paste. Your clipboard is shared between all your computers over the network.

"If you're on the same network and all of your computers are running Windows, then you should try Mouse Without Borders. This application allows you to move your mouse between computers like you would if you had a dual monitor setup. The nice thing here is that copy and paste works well between all computers. You can easily move your mouse on monitor A, copy something and then move your mouse or of the screen to the other monitor of computer B and paste.
