Default Is there anything that splits a monitor signal?

I have a dual signal monitor, it's got two VGA ports on it. I have Signal A connected to my main desktop (the one with the above specs) and I'd like to somehow split Signal B to use on two PCs. Is there anything that will allow me to do this, like some kind of device to split Signal B into say, Signal B and Signal C, allowing me to interchange between them with a switch or something.

Actually I'll probably have the keyboard on the top of the tower and the mouse off to the side somewhere until I need it
