Konig Manual VGA switch problem

Hey,

Recently I bought another computer for my desk to go along with my gaming computer and 2 23" monitors. The aim was to use my gaming computer mainly with one monitor connected directly to the pc and the other monitor going to the switch box, and when I wanted to use the other PC I would use the switch box to change the second monitor to the second PC.

I have no problems with the setup but I cant seem to set the monitors going through the switch box to the correct resolution. My monitors have the default resolution of 2048x1152 at 60Hz. The maximum resolution Windows 7 will give is 1600x1200 going through the switch box, which is rubbish to say the least.

Does anybody know the specific details of this switch box? Have I just bought the wrong switch box, does it not support the resolution i'm needing? If so, is there a decent branded box I could buy instead that supports the resolution?

Thanks

After researching Im lead to believe that this box does not support the resolution of my monitors. Not surprised as it was only £9.

This is exactly what I need, high resolution with manual switch. Only problem is that its only available in the US,

Does anybody know where I can get a decent quality box like this that supports high resolutions in the UK? Im willing to pay for quality!

edit: I've found a product from Belkin called Switch2. This piece of kit allows you to use one monitor with 2 PC's, BUT also allows you to use keyboards and mice with the other computer, which I don't want. What I am wondering is, can I just ignore the connectors for mouse and keyboard on the Switch2 and just plug my 2 mice and keyboards in the computers as normal, therefore just using the Switch2 for the VGA switch.

Anybody know if it will allow me to do this?
