    How are you looking to use your two monitors:
    a) Extended desktop, with video from one computer showing on both monitors, allowing you to move your mouse from one screen to the next? or...
    b) Monitor 1 constantly showing video from computer 1, and monitor 2 constantly showing video from computer 2?

    Dual-video KVM switch will do the job for you, assuming of course each of your computers has two video outputs that work in tandem to support extended desktop.

    You will also need HDMI-DVI adapters, since most of these multi-screen KVM switches have DVI ports (which video is compatible with HDMI monitors).

    Wireless keyboard/mouse compatibility, however, may be tricky - see Can a wireless keyboard/mouse work with a KVM switch?

    This shouldn't be a problem, since most KVM switches nowadays support auto-switch 110~240V power supplies.

    What video resolution are you looking to support? Once we have this info we could recommend specific models for you to consider.
