I'm still amazed that no one builds a reasonably priced LCD panel that includes a USB switch. I mean, seriously, if they're going to give you two video inputs to switch between, it just seems a foregone conclusion that you're going to want to switch some peripherals too . . . like the freakin' keyboard and mouse?

Again, thanks for the help

I have some setups where there are two computers going to one monitor- is this what you are refering to? If so, what I have is a system where you push the button and it swithces the video input and swithces the periphrial output (the keyboard and mouse and monitor now work on the second computer... push the button and they are all connected to the first computer). Not sure if this is what you are looking for?
