 I don't know what one would call this.

I would call that a cross-switch.  Something like this perhaps ?

The old non-electronical ones (ofcourse) didn't, but the "modern" ones (even 
my decade old PS/2 one) all do.  They would be pretty un-sellable otherwise.

Is that why you think you need two keyboards ?  In that case, you don't.
