Finding a good, cheap, KVM seems to be very difficult today. My Belkin OmniCube has been solid (PS2 connectors and VGA).  Think I can switch to USB for the keyboard and mouse now.

I updated my office monitors from dual 23" 1920x1080 to dual 32" 4k 
(3840x2160) last fall when I replaced my laptop.  I was astonished at 
how much more productive I became.  Enough to buy one for my minion and 
another for the house.

Highly recommended.
