multi-computer cordless keyboards?

anyone know of a cordless keyboard/mouse combo that allows you to
switch between multiple computers?

IOW: i want to type (and mouse around) on more than one computer using
the same cordless keyboard and mouse.

why?

well for one, to save on desk space.

i'm cluttered enough without all of these keyboards hogging up my
table tops.

if one doesn't exist yet, i call dibs on nominal courtesy royalties.

heh.

also, it would be nice if the cordless keyboards came with a fucking
optional cord for when the batteries die at inopportune times and/or
the transmitter/receiver malfunctions.

cordless.

IOW: the keyboard and mouse kit would come with at least two of those
tiny USB transmitter units.

and there's a toggle switch ON THE KEYBOARD that allows you to switch
to whichever computer you want to control.

cordlessly.

i suppose one could do some sort of work-around with a KVM switch, as
long as it was cordless, but i'm looking for a keyboard/mouse kit that
comes with multiple USB receiver/transmitter units.
