Rice Cube:

what kind of switch should I use? I have my pc connected through VGA and the xbox 360 connected through HDMI. would i Just need a usb hub or switch. I need my 2 usbs coming from my CP to go to my xbox 360 and pc. Are there digital ones out there so I wouldnt have to manually switch from one another?

Donkbaca:

First: You need to get a vga cable for your xbox.  Next get a KVM that switches the Monitor, sound and USB.  They have manual switches, but most also have a hot key you can press.  Not sure if you can assign the hot key to a joystick button though. 

I use a manual switch on mine that I wired to an arcade button

Rice Cube:

Do I have to use a VGA cable witht he xbox 360? i guess i do if I went to keep the video and audio sound together right?

emphatic:

Get the official VGA cable from Microsoft or you will regret not getting it. The third party ones I've tried all had horrible ghosting on all the whites. It comes with two RCA cables for the audio.

Donkbaca:

I got a third party cable and it works fine, but from what I have read they are hit or miss.  You need a by cable to use a KVM switch, unless you find one that allows VGA and hdmi input, but that switch would probably be more expensive than thaw cable. You will probably need a female to female VGA adapter and a RCA to 3.5mm jack adapter and probably a female to female 3.5pm adapter too to hook everything up right
