1 keyboard w/ multiple monitors...?

[name9902]

Currently i have a desk set up with multiple monitors and they go to different comps...

I was wondering if it was possible to have 1 mouse and 1 keyboard for multiple comps?

Having more than 1 mouse lying around is getting kinda old

Yes, and i believe it's called a KVM switch.

I use it for three monitors on my desk connected to two different computers. Works for me.

I think this is what you are looking for. You can find less expensive models but this is a nice on from Newegg.

eh eh eh, i have 2 KVM switches, but I have 2 comps on one and 1 that is no longer on it, so when i switch the comps one will go black.

Just hook the mouse and keyboard to the KVM you don't have to use the video portion of the KVM and it will still work, I do the same, I have dual inputs on my 21" CRT and one goes directly to my main system so I always have a display.
