MouseWithoutBorders has this feature and its really nice.

The mouse will only switch to the other device if a modifier key (ctrl for example) is currently held down. Great for games that capture the mouse (and don't show its position) as you can end up with the mouse at the edge of the screen and still be moving further, plus left/right movement may be interpreted as a bounce.

you can define hotkeys in barrier to switch between computers. And set computers no boarder connect.

section: links
        PC1:
        PC2:
end

section: options
        keystroke(Control+Alt+a) = switchToScreen(PC1)
        keystroke(Control+Alt+z) = switchToScreen(PC2)
end

Can you also do this by using scroll-lock to lock the mouse to the display you are currently on?
