Four-port KVM switch that sends keyboard data to PS2 port and mouse data to USB port

Keyboard data should go to the PS2 keyboard port of each computer, mouse data should go to a USB port on each computer.

It should work with up to 4 computers.

Does such a KVM switch exist?

EDIT: PS. The PS2 connection is wanted for the BIOS setup of old hardware that supports no USB during BIOS setup.

yes, it does...I use one...the Dlink DKVM-4K, some of my PC's have a converter each...this...does work...

Looks good. Only problem is, the cables do not all connect to the same side so too much desk space is occupied and too much cable clutter results.

Anything similar but with the cables on the back?

Also, two of the computers have a DVI-I output, does a DVI-I version of this exist, where the VGA cables of the other two computers would be converted to DVI-I?

Have there been any glitches in the function of the keyboard hot keys? Asking because they stopped working after a while on my old 2-port e-quip kvm switch, that's why direct switching with the box on the desk is preferred.
