Two computers one keyboard/mouse two VDU
I currently have an old Dell with a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse
set for which the receiver plugs into a USB port. It has 2 VDUs connected using DVI (it could use VGA). Runs Vista(!) I'm shortly to acquire a much newer machine which will also have dual VDU capability using DVI or VGA. On receipt it will be running Win 8.1 but I plan to upgrade to Win 10. What I would like to do is continue to use the existing keyborad/mouse and both VDUs to connect to both computers. I can find switches to do that if I only use 1 screen. Does anyone know of a device that will allow me to use both screens on both computers? I am in the UK.

They do make dual monitor KVM switched but they are somewhat expensive.. http://www.startech.com/uk/Server-Ma...ub~SV431DDVDUA
