Default Monitor Switch?

Hi All - I am looking for a switch that allows two CPUs to share the same monitor at the flip of a switch, similar to a KVM....HOWEVER, each CPU uses its own mouse and keyboard. We currently use a KVM switch for this...however, it is a 2-way switch with PS2 connections...it is meant for those who need to use THE SAME MOUSE AND KEYBOARD, along with the same monitor with two clients. One of my clients is a USB mouse/keyboard, and one is a PS2 keyboard/mouse, so the KVM is not really what I'm looking for. I just need a switch that I can connect the monitor to, and a monitor cable from each PC. I can't seem to find any such animal anywhere. Suggestions, anyone? Thank you!
