Help for Multiple Keyboards & Mice

OK,

Listen up all you techno nerds . . .   I need your input/help.

If any of you are using one of the devices that allow you to control
multiple PC's from one Keyboard/Mouse and have any input on your
experience I would appreciate hearing from you.

I have just gone into keyboard/mouse overload.  Up until today I had 5
computers on my desk.  I have added 2 more and now the keyboard/mouse
situation really is getting ridiculous.

Features I think I want . . .

1.  I need to be able to support both PS/2 and Serial mice (Bus mouse
would be nice but not absolutely necessary.)

2. I need to be able to switch between the various machines  as
painlessly as possible.  I don't want to have to cycle through each
machine.  The ability to switch via keyboard would probably make the
most sense.

3. I don't need or want to switch the video.  That is why I have 7
screens.  I want to be able to see all seven screens at one time.
However, I don't believe I have ever seen a box that only switches the
KB & mouse without the video.

4.  The computers need to be able to be powered up without having the
Keyboard and Mouse selected for that particular machine and make the
computer think that a keyboard and mouse are connected.

Any experiences that anyone has with these types of devices  would be
appreciated.   If you have model numbers and vendor names and phone
numbers that would be great.

Thanks is advance
