Monitor Switch?

Looking to plug two machines into one monitor and use a switch to go back and forth. I've seen them before but the one I just found was limited to 1024x768.
 
Good link, thanks!

I use a USB mouse (does anybody not?) so I'm assuming I'd need something like this:
MyGWC 2 Port KVM Switch Model KS202

My question is, what kind of connections are those in the rear that go to each PC? I know the VGA port, but the other must support both the keyboard and USB devices? What does one of those cables plug into? A regular USB port? Are they expensive cables?
 
the keyboard uses a ps2 connection (but of course there are some usb keyboards). now... if u want a kvm that supports usb.... that is gonne cost more... like in the $100 range. i think belkin makes a few that support usb. the cables that go from the kvm to ur pc... i just refer to them as kvm cables... i have this and it's great. i bought the cables from the link i posted above. generally they run for like $10.
