USB hub for two PCs?

OK. So I have a really nice keyboard (Cherry G80) and a really nice mouse (Sleelseries something..).

 

Both are USB. I also have a USB sound card coming.

 

Now what I want to do is plug these peripherals into a USB hub... But, I want something like a KBM that allows this USB to plug into two PCs.

 

IE - use all of my USB devices on two PCs. I've Googled around, but USB KBM switch does not appear to exist. I can of course unplug the hub's USB and change it between the two computers I want to control, but this is a hassle.

 

Any ideas guys? I'm in the UK...

 

Edit.. K*V*M dammit..

Pretty sure it does exist. Why wouldn't it?

 

EDIT: All kvm switches I've seen on Amazon have USB ports on them. I don't see the problem.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Hmm I guess that would work. I don't need to switch the monitor as it has two inputs so I can do that part myself (run both the Hackintosh and PC into it on different inputs).
