Does such a thing exist? Basically, I would like to use both my desktop and my server from 1 keyboard and mouse, but both are USB.

Further to this, my keyboard is a logitech G15, so would I keep macro support etc.

I have 2 monitors, both 24", and to switch between desktop and server, I would just switch the inputs on both monitors, but I need 2 keyboards and mice at the moment. Basically, I want to hit 3 buttons when switching between systems, monitor 1, monitor 2, and a KVM.

Does a hardware USB kvm exist?
 
Display is a non-issue, I'm using multiple displays, so I don't need to hook them up to a KVM, they'll be hooked up directly to the machines, and I just switch the input source on them with 1 button tap.

I'm waiting on a PSU for my server at the moment (my galaxy died from 2006), and then I'm getting a gigabit switch to goto my router downstairs.

I would just like my desktop to stay uncluttered with 1 keyboard + mouse. The alternative is to keep the server headless and just remote desktop in, which shouldn't be a problem with gigabit ethernet at 1920x1200, apparently 802.11g does it lag free.
