Each workstation at my company has 6 computers with 7 monitors on a large monitor rack.

We were looking at Software KVMs that allows us to move the keyboard/mouse from one monitor to the next as if it was one machine, however we didn't like the idea that it depended on the network. The footprint on the network would have been really small but our IT was not fond of the idea.

I did some research and found this device which connects via USB to each computer and then the mouse/keyboard. This device is ideal for what we want, but at a price tag of $500+ per device, it was a little pricey.

I have not been able to find anything similar to that device, does anyone know what this type of device would be called or have any suggestions?
