2 computers/one keyboard

[Ginny45]

I would like to use just one keyboard with my two connected computers. Is there a keyboard that is made for applications like this? Also would like to have the mouse incorporated in this keyboard. Have been looking around the net but can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for. Any ideas or is this not possible?

You need a KVM switch -- Keyboard, Video, Mouse. It will allow you to control more than one PC from one "console". They aren't cheap, and they also require special cables. A search on KVM should yield plenty of results. I know Belkin makes them, for one.

Thanks for the reply. I can hardly wait to get the mess I have under control. There is wayyy to much on my desk(including my cats). I shall check out the KVM switch's(Belkin) as you suggested. I do not have a lot of $ to spend so this might not be feasable for me. Thanks again.

Try this link to Cablesnmor switch boxes (http://www.cablesnmor.com/switch.html). Should be something there that suits your needs and the most expensive switch is $29.

Thanks for the information. I think I might have found what I was looking for. My son gave me another computer and helped me hook it up to my old computer and monitor w/sharing cable...this is quite new to me..all I know is I have to get some of the "clutter" off my desktop.
