At work we need to be able to connect one USB keyboard and
one USB mouse to two computers. I am guessing that a
hardware switch with two in-ports and four out-ports would
work. Does anyone know where I can get this? Do you have any
other ideas?

look up "synergy" on sourceforge.net
It's a program that uses the network to perform the function you
want.
You get virtual windows. Just move the mouse past the edge of
your main window and it shows up on the other system.
Has other benefits...like you can cut from one system and paste
on the other.

It has obvious limitations.
You can't configure the BIOS with it, because it ain't
running until the OS boots.

Also look into

ZoneOS ZoneScreen

This has some screen viewing capabilities too.

If you want to also share the same monitor then the KVM switch is the
way to go, but if you are using separate monitors then synergy (or
others like it) will do what you need without having to purchase a
switch.
