What do you guys use for KVM switches? Both my keyboard and mouse are wireless USB devices.

Not so sure there are KVM switches for anything other than ps/2 mice and keyboard. Check the brand targus, they make a lot of these things.

Are you using a KVM for PC's remotely located? I just ran across this little sweet program for controlling multiple PC's with a single keyboard/mouse.

Synergy

It even works across different OS's, but it requires that the monitor from each PC is close to your main monitor. (The placement isnt a requirement, but you have to use eachs systems own monitor, so its best to place them beside each other.)
