With the 2-Port VGA and DisplayPort KVM Switch Kit from IOGEAR , you can control two computers from a single monitor, mouse, and keyboard workstation. With no software or external power needed, setup and operation are designed to be easy. To create your workstation where you will control your two computers, just plug in a VGA monitor, USB Type-A mouse, and USB Type-A keyboard (all not included), into the corresponding female ports on the switch.
