KVM switch question

[furiousfords89]

i really need a KVM switch because i just built a new comp and i still have to use my old comp, but i dont know smack about KVM switches. I've been thinking about getting one of these http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-107-242&depa=0 It looks good to me...but exactly how am i supposed to set it up? all of the cables and plugs are confusing me

I don't know about the company so I can't speak for the quality of that particular switch.

Setup:

First set of cables - connect to pc number 1
Second set of cables - connect to pc number 2

your Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor connect to the "box" in the middle.

turn your computers on, use the Scroll Lock key (press twice really fast) to switch between the two.

I bought something similar to that from Fry's. The first one I bought was bad. Every once and a while, the mouse would jsut stop working. I traded it in for a new one, and everything has been good since.
