Is there a way to make it so that I can run something in full screen on monitor 1, hit a button, and then have mouse control in monitor 2 without minimizing/windowing the full screen app? i.e. play a game on monitor 1 and web browse on monitor 2

Or make it so that when I mouse to the edge of monitor 1, it doesn't move over to monitor 2 until I hit a key

Yes, but it involves dual-computers. You'd need a pair of PC's, and just run them side by side. Very in-elegant solution.

Some games allow you to run in windowed mode. Maximize that window and then you can generally alt tab and go click on the other screen while the game is still running.

Make sure it's on Dualview. (Or whatever equivalent your graphics card wants to call it.) Like Blindy said, it's possible to play games and move your mouse off the screen and onto another one while keeping the game full-screened.

I've only done it to WoW, though I'd guess a lot of other games can do the same thing.

I've only seen WoW give the option of Windowed, Maximized which allows for what Blindy is talking about.

At a 50% reduction in FPS in the game.
