Difficulty finding a Christmas gift! USB Adapter?

I, like countless other people out there, have a brother that plays WoW.

He runs two computers in his setup, one usually playing his main and another playing an alt, surfing, or hosting his Vent server. He wears two pairs of headsets when he's doing raids.

What I want is a device that would allow him to connect one headset to two different devices, thus making him look less goofy. Well as less goofy as possible playing WoW.

Basically, it's the exact opposite of this: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=usb+converter&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=2858957471529091934&ei=MnsUS6HOBIyslAepury8BQ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=image&resnum=7&ved=0CEEQ8gIwBg#

Any suggestions? Thanks :)

    I'm assuming they're USB headsets? If they are, you're probably not going to find anything that will work.

    If they use 3.5mm jacks, then it becomes much easier- all you'll need is some Y-splitters and some creative cabling to hook up one set to two computers (a couple of these and probably a couple extenders like this)

    Yeah, I've actually engineered such a setup before for 3.5 mm jacks.

    So, it's unlikely. Thanks for the time guys.

    Is there not a software answer to the issue?
