Oh, I’m not tech savvy either, far from it. My Son in Law set it up for me 😬

But apparently it’s not very rare or anything. I’ve heard of lots of folk since that have similar set-ups 😑

I bet there is a tube video out there that shows step by step how to set it up!

Mad, I just set up something similar with my new Windows 11 computer and my Windows 10 computer. I tried a physical KVM switch, but it won't work with my Razer mouse or keyboard. I found some software that will do the same thing and although it's not perfect, it works pretty well. I can use the same keyboard, mouse and monitor just with the software. It's kind of cool!

👍👍👍

If anyone is interested, Logitech makes (or used to make) a line of keyboards and mice (MX series I think) that have a "QuickSwitch or Easy-Switch" on them allowing you to use them on up to three PC's. You need to get a receiver, which is just a little USB port plug for each machine. If I recall correctly think they come with one receiver. I haven't used them for gaming, but I do use an MX setup for my editing machines and the server with which they are linked. I can switch on the fly between two PC's and a server, no prob.
Those won't help if you use separate monitors. I use an HDMI switch for the monitors though, as I use a different monitor for the storage server.

Here's a video about one of the setups Logitech has available.
