The Master-IT UR-12-KIT is a 2-Port USB KVM switch and peripheral sharing device packaged with two sets of 6 ft. Premium 2-in-1 cables. It is designed to access and control two cross-platform USB type computers from one USB keyboard, one VGA monitor, and one USB mouse and share an additional USB device among connected systems. Its compatibility with major computer and server manufacturers' systems, such as Dell, HP, Compaq, and IBM, have made it a favorite choice among IT professionals.

any help would be appreciated.

Should work...

I've recently moved some computers at work that were connected to one screen, keyboard and mouse. Mind, keyboard and mouse were ps2, not usb...

You connect your keyboard and mouse to the usb ports under "console" and your screen to the connecter above "console".

Then you connect the display connectors of both computers to the display connectors of the kvm switch (channel 1 and channel 2). Last, you connect your computers with usb cables to the usb ports on the kvm switch (channel 1 and channel 2)...

That should do it...

or save yourself the money and do an rdp connection between the computers ...what os you running

go to www.belkin.com

on the left go to kvm and click the kvm wizard. follow the prompts and they will tell you what you need. ive used belkin for a long time and ive had alot of success. plus you can use usb and even share speakers if u want.
