Am looking for a keyboard that can control 2 computers, possibly by a
switch.

They make switches for that.  Check belkin or any of the other places like that.  I've never seen a
kb that will control more than one pc, but they might exist.  Most places will use 1 monitor, 1
mouse, and 1 kb to control several servers by using the above metnioned switches.

Yep, they're often called "CPU switches" or something like that

KVM switch. And if you are only wanting to use the keyboard, (i.e. already
have 2 monitors), just getting another keyboard is a whole lot cheaper. Last
I checked kvm switches were about $150.

There's a company called Hawking that produces a low end one for about
CAN$90, it also comes with the extra cables that you'll need.  Worth a look.

It's called a KVM switch... Keyboard/Video/Mouse.
