Is their a KVM-like switch or "box" that allows you to use a Mackie Control Universal with two PCs so you don't have to plug and unplug one Mackie to use it with two PCs?

Look at a Midi "Thru" or "A/B" box here. You should find one that will suit your purpose.

Many of their products are also sold at musiciansfriend.com

It is also not too hard to build a passive A/B midi switch with radio shack parts.
All you need to do is switch the signal on pin #5, all the rest can be daisychained.
