Isn't this what SPDT and other RF switches are designed to do?

Obviously impractical for a KVM switch, but I wonder if you could build one out of 20 of these.

RF switches are fairly expensive and aren't likely to meet the electrical spec anyway. If they're SPDT, you'll probably need at least 10 of them. What's the motivation for using them?
