Has any company invented this yet?

Yea, and that's what both of my cheapish KVMs do.

No they dont if the PCs that dont have the physical keyboard and mouse
switched to them dont whine about the lack of keyboard and mouse at boot time.

Rude-boy Rod is wrong, once again.

Nope, you are, as always.

Great, now to find a store in Canada that actually sells them. Only
thing is I see the 2 port versions are cheap enough but the 4 port
versions are over $100.00. Kind of pricy for a glorified USB hub.

I've seen them at the Trailing Edge in Ottawa, Canada, a couple of
months back. But I don't know if they still have them in stock.

I've never seen a KVM with an external power source.

Not too many of them require it, but a lot can use external power and it
tends to solve reliability issues.

I won't spend over
fifty bucks for a 2 PC KVM. I see the ones with DVI that I would like to
buy are well over one hundred bucks.

I normally budget $20-$30 per machine, which amortizes out nicely since
my current 4-port KVM is at least 8 years old.
