Hey all,
I'm trying to get my home office / gaming setup complete, and I'd like some recommendations for hardware setups / KVM switches to do this as painlessly as possible.
My three machines to switch between are:
- Desktop Windows PC - (many available ports)
- 2019 Macbook Pro (Intel Chip - 15 Inch) - (3 available USB C ports)
- 2021 Macbook Pro (M1 Chip - 13 Inch) - (1 available USB C port)
Ideally I'd like to have 2x DisplayPort Monitors that support all three machines. The M1 Mac Pro natively only supports one external display, but I believe with some hardware display adapters it can be increased to a second external display.
For the Macbooks, I'll ideally be swapping them out from a laptop stand as these also need to be portable. The ideal setup would be a single USB C connector that could be plugged into either macbook, and supply power, two external displays, and keyboard/mouse setup.
The desktop PC - I care about latency more for the keyboard/mouse setup, so want to make sure the setup doesn't add any additional latency to input. Other than that, the desktop PC has a ton of spare ports available.
Appreciate any recommendations!
