So I'm building a second pc and thought to myself that it would be fun to have a setup where there are two monitors, two computers, one keyboard, and one mouse.

Does anyone know of a switch box that could work like so:
Pc1 on monitor one
Pc2 on monitor two
Mouse and keyboard can swap between the two with a short key press.

Switch box has a button to swap the two monitors so that:
Pc1 on monitor two
Pc2 on monitor one

Any thoughts and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Edit:
Monitor 1 is hdmi 60hz
Monitor 2 is dvi 144hz
 
Solution
Connect mouse/keyboard and both monitors to first pc.
Use Remote desktop to connect to second pc. Put Remote Desktop window on second screen and maximize it.
You will essentially have:
  • PC #1 on first screen;
    PC #2 on second screen;
    one mouse and one keyboard to control them all.
