2 Laptops 1 Monitor

[racket]

Hi,

Can I get a device to connect 2 laptops to 1 monitor, mouse and keyboard. I had a KVM switch for 2 desktop PC's but the laptops dont have keyboard outputs.

cheers for any help

Chris

use a KVM with USB ports, and use a USB mouse and keyboard, sorted. http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?product_id=13677&tid=gsearch

wouldnt something cheaper and simpler like this link below do the job, as both laptops have keyboards anyway and all you want to do is share one monitor

I imagine he has two laptops stacked and in closed position so no access to keyboards.?

Going a little smaller is one like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Omniview-2-Port-Switch-Cabling/dp/B0002B3E5U

Or you could just get PS2 to USB adapters for your existing KVM.
