If you regularly mend your friends/relatives pc's

then you have to get one of these.....

Moby-Dick sugested it to me ages ago..and Agent too I think .....

one monitor....one keyboard...one mouse....doesn't need a power supply....

and plug in two PCs...:)

boot them up whenever you want and just swap between them...am defragging one PC RIGHT NOW while on here....both different resolutions (it remembers them)

And cos its a BOX with switches, not a cable that needs you to hit a combo of keystrokes to swap over, things like Cntrl C for copy (you DOS boys are gonna tell me thats wrong now huh;) ) still works

£18.79 inc VAT.

And it blumin well works too :)

God I love toys :) does it show ;) ?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bargain! Cheers Dude :D

hmmm i would... but i have a dual input monitor... :D
the downside is i get to reuse my old optical mouse, and have 2 keyboards on my desk, which i dont mind, except when i relised i just typed this on the wrong comp :(

Looks useful even if you arent mending friends/relatives computers. But i will never buy anything of ebuyer again....

Damn that's so cheap I'll buy one next time I get something off ebuyer.

However, I have a spare monitor so it's never really been a problem servicing PC's for people. In fact, I usually go to them - I'm king of service in my area, lol.

There's a simple solution if you have dual monitor. Ebuyer sell a USB switch. Get it and a USB hub, then plug your devices into the hub as follows:

Code:

---

[USB Mouse]-----+                          +--[Computer A]
                |                          |
[USB Keyboard]--+--[USB Hub]--[USB Switch]--+
                |                          |
[USB Kettle?]---+                          +--[Computer B]

---

Et voila, a very cheap KVM solution for anyone with a USB mouse/keyboard.

Aaron..nice graphic :)

My new box is just ACE...its under my desk, out of the way, and I hit the buttons with my toe :)

Streamlined or WHAT :)

Multitasking dude, multitasking ;)

one hand on the keyboard, the other holding a pint, and your toe to switch boxes, dammit you're EVOLVED ;)

Just what I need for my firewall/*nix learning box :) cheap too!

Bloody hell thats cheap, gonna order myself one, cheers Zak :D

suppose it should be in Bargain hunt, but its so.....so.....HARDWARE-Y :)

I was just looking for one of these and thought I'd do a search here... Thanks mate, might order one soon. :)

Useful - unless you have a dual monitor and dual input main, also lotsa spare keyboards/mice to testing ;)

Got mine today, have to say how impressed I am for £25 :)
