StarTech.com claim that
this is the smallest KVM switch in the world, and quite frankly I believe them.
It would be more or less impossible to make it any smaller! As you would expect,
it consists of a small box with a VGA connector and PS/2 connectors for mouse
and keyboard.
The box is indeed very small
2 cables are attached to the box, one going to the first PC and the other cable
going to the second PC. These cables split into 1 VGA, 1 mouse and 1 keyboard,
ready to be hooked up. They aren't especially long, so you will need to have
both computers quite near you.
