    Decent KVM switch

    I'm hooking my main gaming rig and my linux work box together using the same screen, keyboard and mouse.

    Can anyone reccommend a decent KVM switch that I can run both these machines on. I'd need it hardware dependant aswell or if software is needed it has to be compatible with Debian.

    Keyboard, Mouse (both PS/2) and Monitor (VGA) nothing else, don't need sound either.

    I have about £50 to spend so something under that would be great

    Hope for a quick answer
    Cheers

    To swap over systems you just tap scroll lock twice on the keyboard.
    No software required.
    Works for me.
