You want a 2-port KVM switch (Keyboard, Video, Mouse).
You'll find a lot of them on eBay.
Be sure to buy with cables included...they can cost more than the switch.
Check if you want/need USB and/or sound switched as well. This makes it much
more difficult.
IHTH,
Jack R

You need to buy a "KVM Switch" that has the correct connectors for the style
your keyboard, mouse and monitor use.

What's wrong with buying a KVM switch??
