I thought I would utilise the "collective wisdom" of CUK.
Having built the new gaming PC, I am reusing the old one, bit of a clean up & new case etc (not as fancy as the gaming one) as this is just for my design software & running the Cricut.
So what I want to do is have it in the same space as my WFH set up, I want to use the same monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.
I was looking at KVM switches & there was a comment about you cant use them with a laptop that only has 1 HDMI output, but then there are many discussions about using a docking station instead of a KVM & it all started to get very nerdy.... hence coming here
So I have a windows PC & a HP elitebook 830 GS that has a G2 thunderbolt dock.
What I want is a simple solution to share 1 monitor, keyboard, mouse & 4 USB peripherals, the option to add a 2nd monitor would be nice.
I will not be running PC & laptop at the same time.
I don't solely WFH so the ease of the single thunderbolt cable to connect the Laptop is lovely.
I don't want to spend excessively but if the solution is expensive, so be it.
So what do you use / would recommend?
Thanks
