I had a personal KVM years ago that would switch monitor, keyboard and mouse with a hotkey, and it was pretty nice.

I'm pretty picky about my peripherals like mice and keyboards.

Absolutely, that stuff's important if you spend any amount of time on a computer!

I also have a preference for Logitech Mice.

Also my favorite, more specifically, there trackballs, but all of their stuff is top notch in my book.

Once it's all set up on both PC's it works like a dual monitor setup, the mouse just glides off one screen onto the other and the keyboard follows along.

That's pretty cool. The future is here!

It's utterly seamless and you can even copy paste between machines.

GTFO! No way, you're yankin' our chains! How the hell does it do that? Memory in the keyboard? The keyboard grabs the clipboard, then sends it down the wire to the other device? I guess it's probably USB (whether directly or via a dongle) so transferring stuff is no problem compared to the old days of an actual keyboard port. I guess, why not. Sheit, makes me wish I used 2 workstations!

My setup was a bit pricey but hey, it's what I do for a living so the tools are worth the price to keep me productive but they do have a 5 Cross Flow capable mice and keyboard offerings to fit every budget so if you have a similar situation well worth a look.

Absolutely! Forgetaboutit, I've probably still got you beat. I've got 2 of these, I think I got them refurbished, one had the extra memory (for macros and remapping keys) and was over $300. The other also refurbished with the standard memory, and was just under $200. They both have standard and Dvorak key layouts built into the keyboard, and can be swapped from Windows to Apple to neither, built in (so you have the Windows key or the Apple clover and option keys or whatever). When I travel for work, and I'm going to be someplace working on a workstation (vs a laptop) I take one with me. Trackballs have nearly gone the way of the dodo, but I still like them.

No kidding, that's crazy. It sounds like something out of Minority Report.

Psshhhtt, security! Who needs it?
