Can anyone recommend a cheap KVM switch that I can buy in the UK?

I'm thinking of a KVM switch with only the PS/2(essential) ports and/or usb (not essential) and I don't need to share the screen as I need both monitors to be available, so no need for VGA/DVI sharing ports. Something that I can buy from a UK shop online, thanks.

I found the UK local site and they have multiple options to choose from - single user to multiuser console, multiple ports, etc.

Amazon UK also has a couple of optioons.

I would also recommend using VNC to access the console depending on your scenario. This would cost nothing.

shipping takes awhile for me (Singapore). Around 1-2 weeks.
