I have two PCs, two monitors, one keyboard and one mouse.

I swap between PCs using one of those one-into-many selectors that you put your mouse and keyboard into, with a push-button on the top to swap between machines.

Now what would be totally cool would be something that automatically swapped control depending on where your mouse was - I have my monitors side by side and it would be cool to have a device that automatically swapped control from the right-hand PC to the left-hand PC when I dragged my mouse cursor "from" the right monitor "to" the left monitor (and vice versa), if you get my meaning!

Does anyone know if such a device can be purchased and, if so, how horribly expensive is it?! Lol!

Not quite what you are envisioning but Synergy: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ will let you use the same keyboard and mouse over multiple computers. As you drag your mouse off one monitor, it will go to the next.
