KVM switch

I have a windows PC with dual monitors. I also have a MAC mini, only has thunderbolt ports, it's the newest mac mini and I want to be able to get a kvm switch that I can run both computers at the same time with a push of a button. My PC has a unique video vard where I think it's dual layer DVI that branches out to 2 individual DVI ports.

My PC's resolution is 1920x1200 and I don't know what my mac mini resolution is, but probably the same.

I will probably need some converters from thunderbolt to DVI and for the MAC mini, I wonder if there's a cable that goes from thunderbolt to 2 DVI (Y) cable?

Any ideas?

Check the link below, you can get a mini display to vdi, Hdmi, or VGA.

yes, thanks, I know about the miniDP to DVI adapter, but what kind of KVM switch would work with this setup?

If you go mini to VGA then you can use any KVM switch all KVM switch support VGA USB

Thanks trgrassijr55, that just looks like a cheap brand. I think I'm just going to remote into it, as I won't be in every day, I don't want to spend a few hundred dollars on the switch.
