Keyboard Switch

Hi,

I'm after recommendations please for a keyboard switcher - it's a wired keyboard that would need to operate two PCs ... though not at the same time. The two PCs would be connected to one monitor too but I am thinking that two HDMI inputs into the monitor will be fine.... but any better ideas to hook up in one unbit gratefully received!

Have you looked at software like https://www.inputdirector.com/ or https://symless.com/synergy ?
Pretty popular with a lot of streamers that run dual rigs.

I would just get a 2 port KVM switch

I've been using an Aten CS22U daily since 2016 (cost me under £15), no problems, but the cables are a bit short. I use the input switch on the monitor rather than going through the KVM.
