Okay, so I received the Steam Machine and I wanted to hook it up a long side with my normal PC. This is the scenario I would like....
Now, what you're looking at are monitors. I want monitor 1 to Steam and monitor 3 to PC (Ignore I can do this one, it's the middle monitor I want to do) and I want the middle monitor (2) to go to the PC and the Steam Machine. Now I wanted to achieve this by a KVM Switch. So the monitor would hook to the KVM by DVI, then a DVI plug to the Steam Machine and a DVI plug to the PC.
Do they make KVM switched with DVI plugs? I have looked and only seen really weird looking ones. If HDMI is preferred, I can do HDMI instead. The monitor can be DVI to HDMI and the HDMI can plug to the KVM, then HDMI to the Steam Machine and PC if needed.

Now the second part is a simple question: Do they make KVM Switches with more than 2 USB Ports? I need my mouse and keyboard to work for both through a KVM, but I also need a USB port for my mixer.

What I would realistically like to have? DVI KVM Switch with 3 USB Ports. I feel though that this is not made.
What I could use? DCI KVM Switch with 2 USB Ports.
Thank you to anyone who helps!
