Yes they're calling KVM switches, granted i am unsure if you can find many HDMI KVMs(even DVI KVMs can be hard to come by).

Searching around on Newegg, i can't find an HDMI KVM that supports more then one monitor. Most KVM's are used to view multiple systems on a single monitor, hence they mostly only come with a single monitor output. Plus i can only find about 6 HDMI KVMs on newegg, all in which won't do what you want since they all only support a single monitor.(plus they're expensive). http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=100006688&isNodeId=1&Description=hdmi+kvm+switch&x=0&y=0

You can always get a DVI KVM that has two monitor connections and then get two HDMI to DVI cable to hook them up to the KVM. But that might be more expensive then what you're after. Cause you will need to find a KVM with two montor connectors as well as two PC connectors.

Or you could just get a keyboard and mouse for one of the systems and not use a KVM switch at all.
