Hi Niamh; In case you missed my earlier post/ reply, here it is again.
Hi Niamh; I am using an, IOGear KVM Switch, Model #: GCS612A. This switch has the leads to connect 2 computers to it. To switch back & forth between the computers, you only have to tap the scroll lock button twice quickly. This particular model uses PS2 connections for the keyboard & mouse and has an audio lead for using external / satellite speakers via a sound card. Oh yeah, and the typical monitor connection. Hope this helps. Take care.

Since you are connecting only 2 computers, the switch Mike spoke of will do a nice job, it's the same one I started out with some years ago.
