Caporegime
So at present i have a work laptop on one side, gaming PC on the other. In the middle is my monitor, with a keyboard and mouse.
The keyboard and mouse currently gets moved from one PC to another when i switch between work mode and home mode. I have both PCs connected to the monitor and just use input select on the monitor to change modes.
Is there anything smarter around than having a USB hub and just changing which machine the hub is plugged into ?
I could do a KVM, but my monitor is a high resolution fast refresh rate one so needs to be display port not HDMI and i'd need it to have HDMI as well as display port as my work laptop doesn't have displayport. I could get an adapter I suppose, but displayport KVMs look horrendously expensive just to accomodate me being lazy and not watching to move a USB hub around and switching the display input manually.
Anybody out there using anything I've not thought of ?
