Actually, although your method would be best for security reasons, you
could copy the private key file to the other computer and add the
public key to the authorized_keys file so that you only have one key
pair.  You don't need more than one key pair as long as the private
key portion is available in your $HOME/.ssh directory on all
computers.

I hope these aren't your real keys, if so you should regenerate them
now that you've shared them in public.
