What am I looking for, switch for 2 VGA connectors to one monitor?

First off do OC do these, if not without giving links (if its not allowed) can you tell me what im looking for.

I have my PC and xbox360 running on my monitor but im fed up of pulling out the VGA cable when I want to use the xbox, is there a switch box to vga that I can use so I can have both plugged in and hit a switch to pick between the two.

I saw one but it was too big as it also had 2 lots of usb slots for keyboard and mouse etc, I don't need these.

Thanks

Look for a KVM switch.

He doesn't need a keyboard or mouse.

Just google a "2 port vga switch"

Can you get a "2 port DVI switch" also, as I'm using a VGA kvm and it adds noise to the video signal.

KVM yea thats what my friend recommended but I dont need the keyboard/mouse ports. I'll look for the switch as suggested.

Thanks

A KVM wouldnt work as most draw power from the PC on PS2 or USB. You just want a VGA switch

this is not entirely true my MRI KVM switch has its own 9volts power supply included.
