Current setup:

mac mini with 2 - 24" screens (support both vga and DVI)

Mac has mini DVI to DVI adapter connecting to a DVI cable to monitor 1
Mac has USB to DVI adapter connecting to a DVI cable to monitor 2

Windows 7 box not currently connected to any monitors. Can accept 2 DVI connections

Desired Outcome:

Switch to go back and forth between mac and windows.

I was searching for a dual monitor kvm but I am not sure if I am searching for the right thing or if this even exists.

Looking for some recommendation of setups/specific product link recommendations.

Thanks :)
 
If you don't need to switch very often - I would connect one computer to VGA, another to DVI, and use "Input select" function on monitors to switch (on some monitors it is a matter of pressing a single key once or twice, on other is effing menu system). Choose "primary PC" to go over DVI (for better picture), and secondary to VGA.

Thanks, but I am looking for something a bit quicker than that. I found a few dual monitor kvm switches, but at $300+ that seems quite expensive for what seems like a simple flip of a switch. Does anyone have an sub $300 product recommendations?
