Using 2 VGA monitors

I have 2 Dell monitors.....I plan on using a VGA cable for one and the digital cable for the other...is there a device that you can hook up 2 mice and 2 keyboards (like a y cable idea) to one cpu?
I've used a Netgear product where you can use 1 mouse and keyboard to control 2 cpu's over 1 monitor......I just don't want to drag the keyboard and mouse that's near my synth to the mix area......I thought about perhaps a wireless keyboard and mouse.....not sure....your input is appreciated....thanks

    Unless I've misunderstood, there is no need for any such device.  Just connect each mouse and keyboard directly to the PC.  If you have insufficient USB ports, then you may need to add a USB hub.
