Is there such a thing as a usb keyboard/mouse switch?

I want to use one USB keyboard and one USB mouse on two PC's and be able to conveniently switch between the two.

Before someone says KVM, I do NOT require switching on video as one PC will have 2 dedicated monitors and the other PC will be on a 3rd dedicated monitor.

I just want something discrete that works reliably without the need for both PC's to be turned on to function on just one.

I am willing to get a KVM even though I don't need the video part of it, so long as it doesn't come with video cables pre-attached and isn't overpriced for what I want to achieve.

Has anyone seen a product that will do this?

Yeah they are called 4 port usb switches :)

Belkin do one -

Edit: Hmm that link has a shopping cart so might be classed as a competitor

If you google you should be able to get a hold of one, a competitor sells something similar for about £10

I would appreciate a model number if possible.

If its the F1U200 then as far as I can tell that won't be ideal as it only switches 1 device amongst 4 computers. I need something that will switch 2 devices amongst 2 computers.

Although that device is very similar to what I'm after, it would just be annoying to use 2 of them separately.
