Okay, I need to combine two computers together. The trick is I want two monitors, two computers, one mouse, and one keyboard. My question is, do they make a switch for that?

You can get a standard KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch. it is YOUR choice if you hook the monitor up to the switch....you can just use it for the Keyboard and mouse and keep the two monitors.
I do it all the time when setting up systems for my company....I need to see what is going on, but only can interact with one computer at a time....hence only one keyboard and mouse.
Good luck.

persist with the Cable ones i've got have been given no time for those on the spot instruments as they fail and once you have start up up issues or ought to accomplish a little maintenace and changes have taken place they permit you down by way of fact the will this device like homestead windows to run them ( in specific the Mouse) so in the event that they fail you won't have the capacity to pass into your Password by way of fact this device isn't working yet. I provide them away and you ought to be smart and saty with the Cable Keyboard a minimum of.

They sure do. It's called a KVM switch.
Here's some from Tiger Direct.

They should sell them in your local PC store or a personal favorite PC web site too.

Yes. It is called an KVM switch. You just wont be using the V (video) part.
