Switch between a laptop or desktop while using two monitors?

lady_lucky_ducky

I have a new work-from-home setup in progress and am trying to find a way to switch between the laptop and desktop as easily as possible and have the 2 monitors setup for both (along with usual peripherals) without having to unplug from a USB hub or device every time. Suggestions on what I would need to do?

Hello!

It sounds like a KVM Switch is just what you need.

It allows you to connect your monitors and peripherals to the KVM switch and then the KVM switch connects to both computers and allows you to switch between them with the press of a button.

There are a large variety of these available, here is the link for just one of them and it may or may not be the best option for you.

I recommend visiting your nearest store and working with an expert there to find one that will best suit your needs and budget!

I hope this helps!
