Need your advice

Hello, currently I have 2 computers and 1 monitor. What do you guys suggest I get to share a monitor to two computers. I also have 2 keyboards and 2 mice. I bought a Linksys Switch box that can do what I need but the problem is it lags my keyboard.

Hello, currently I have 2 computers and 1 monitor. What do you guys suggest I get to share a monitor to two computers. I also have 2 keyboards and 2 mice. I bought a Linksys Switch box that can do what I need but the problem is it lags my keyboard. When I play games, certain keys were lagging like 1-2 seonds behind. That is no good for playing Counter-Strike. So I returned it. I think the problem with the Linksys monitor switch box is that it doesn't have its own power. It is drawing power from Keyboard ports. Anyways, is there other ones out there you guys use??? I don't really need to share a keyboard and a mouse for two computers. I prefer to spend $100 on this the most.

I have used Belkin units myself, but I can't remember what the pricepoint is. They work well though.

Belkin Ominview 4-System unit, Model #F1D066. I have used a couple of others, but I can't remember their part numbers.
