Switcher - KVM from ComputerCableStore™.
KVM Switch for monitors, USB peripherals and audio.
Switches between any combination of two USB computers. (PC or Mac) Now you can switch easily and reliably between any combination of two computers using only one monitor, USB keyboard and mouse. The USB Switcher saves space - there's no need to work on a desk crowded with double monitors, keyboards and mouse devices. It saves time - there's no need to move from one monitor to another to access different computers. It saves money - there's no need to purchase additional monitors, mouse devices, keyboards etc. And, it switches the audio too.
How it works
The USB Switcher alternates access between two computers located near each other. Simply plug your peripherals directly into the switch, connect the cables to the computers you want to control, select the computer you want to work on, and you're switching. To switch, press the button in the front of the USB Switcher or switch remotely using Gefen's RMT-2 remote control.
The USB Switcher allows you to choose between a Macintosh or PC USB keyboard/video/mouse combination.

In information technology, Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to connect devices to a host computer. USB was designed to allow many peripherals to be connected using a single standardized interface socket and to improve plug and play capabilities by allowing hot swapping; that is, by allowing devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer or turning off the device. Other convenient features include providing power to low-consumption devices, eliminating the need for an external power supply; and allowing many devices to be used without requiring manufacturer-specific device drivers to be installed.
DVI-A (DVI-Analog) is an analog technology that is most commonly used in the PC world to connect Analog video cards to Analog monitors. Since DVI-A and SVGA are both analog signal types, both are easily converted from one to the other which makes it easy to find many inexpensive adapters and cables to convert SVGA to DVI-A or DVI-A to SVGA. DVI-A can easily be identified by the 4 pins surrounding the longest pin on the connector.
The term Video Graphics Array (VGA) refers specifically to the display hardware first introduced with the IBM PS/2 line of computers in 1987, but through its widespread adoption has also come to mean either an analog computer display standard, the 15-pin D-subminiature VGA connector or the 640×480 resolution itself. While this resolution has been superseded in the personal computer market, it is becoming a popular resolution on mobile devices.
