Can anyone recomned a monitor keyboard switch and supplier? - Cheaper the better as always.

I'm really after one that will support 2 monitors (dual head). Just got a new PC but there's no room on the desk for more monitors.

thanks

Have a look at the Belkin range,

Which model depends on whether your keyboard and mouse are PS/2 or USB.

If nou need two monitors then the belkin ones are the best i've seen, can have 2 consoles running 2 different pcs, or showing the same and one controlling.
have a look through ebay, there's loads of it clearance companies with this sort of stuff.

Bought one from Dabsvalue range for a tiny sum.

Works perfectly, does what is says on the tin.

Dont pay more than £20.

Did you get a dual head one? I can only find cables - no switch.

This is the one i was on about.

maybe you'd be better off getting two cheap single monitor ones.
