Yes, there is a piece of software called Synergy, you simply set your Desktop as the server and the Macbook as the client. Really simple to set up and use :)

Is there any software out there that lets me use my keyboard and mouse on my desktop and Macbook at the 'same time'?

I have 2 monitors running off my Windows 7 desktop, and I want to plug my 2013 Macbook Air into my 2nd monitor, but use my Ducky Shine III and mouse on it as well as the windows desktop just by pressing a button to release the mouse and keyboard from one computer and then it activating on the other.

 

Anyone know of any software like this?

Seems like a great piece of synchronised, dual precision software :)
