A few months ago I sold my KVM switch on eBay<\/a>. Now I’m running out of desk-space again…<\/p>\n

\"LinksysWith built-in cables, drawing power from the PS\/2 port on one of the PCs, and no software required, this is an ideal solution for letting the port replicator for my work laptop and my desktop PC share the same keyboard, mouse and monitor (at resolutions up to 1920×1440).
