What's the best USB switcher? (want to share mouse/keyboard/monitor between PC and mac)

Question

I have a wireless keyboard, mouse, and a monitor (with DVI and VGA) that I want to share between two systems. Ideally, I'd prefer to just hit a keystroke (e.g. scroll-lock twice) and then have all three items switch from my PC to my mac.

Is there a good product for this?

I know of older-style KVM switches, and I've found a few USB switches, but nothing together.

Synergy isn't an option, as one computer is from my employer (security concerns).

I'd also prefer < 1 second switch time, i.e. with a USB switcher, I'd need to wait ~5 seconds for the OS to recognize the new USB hardware.

Thanks!

A very simple one's the Belkin Flip, though it comes either as 2x VGA or 2x DVI-D. Switch time's around 1 second (I wouldn't say sub-second) on a VGA one here in our office. You don't need to wait for USB recognition to kick in each time you switch, either.
