Thanks much for the info but I think I will go for the KVM swith using the iogear equipment. I prefer to keep things as simple as possible as I am an amateur computer user. Thanks again though for the info.

Another solution is if your computers both have decent bluetooth to use a bluetooth keyboard that has multiple connection support like the logitech k760. I believe there are other logitech keyboards that can do this also. Of interest, if you wanted just one set of speakers it might be possible if one of your computer has line in, to have a patch cable going from the speaker out jack on one computer to the line in jack on the other, then on the one that has the line in, set it to listen to the line in jack through that computer's output sound card. Then use speakers connected to the computer with the line in jack and you should be able to hear both computers through the same set of speakers, at the same time so you'll know if the one you're not using right now is up to something if it has speech or is playing sounds. Of course, if you use two sets of speakers moot point. The speaker discussion might be worth thinking about even if you go for kvm switch, especially if it does have no audio support. Good luck. I use USB speakers on my desktop computers USB powered speakers that is so very low power usage, and I just leave them be so all my computers can be heard any time they're up to something that makes noise.
