Switch for 2 pc with 2 screens

Post by JoPo »

Hi..

I'm planning to buy a second pc. But I don't have much space, so I need to use the same keyboard/mouse/screen for both pc. Do you know some of that kind of device ?

I found this :
http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/ ... :c|adp:1o4
But it's a bit expensive ! But it's from far the less expensive I found !

In fact, it's much less expensive to buy 2 KVR switches each for 2 pc - 1 screen... What do you think of this ?

Thank you !

personally, I'd rather have the info displayed all the time. you really can't fit an extra 15" monitor?

As far as the mouse, here is a topic in the tips section.

I ended buying this and it works like a charm http://www.keyboard-and-mouse-sharing.com/demo.htm

but apparently you can do it for free http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=35460

not sure about the keyboard, I just have one for each computer.

Thanks a lot, very interresting. But this works with several computers but each one with its screen. I need to have my both screen on both pc.

Non, I really don't have any place for a 3° screen ! I must have a KVM switch for 2pc - 2 screens.

The one I found makes the job and I already ordered it.

Thanks, Yaya ! You had the best idea to use 2 pc ! I'll connect them via ADAT and via VST system link ! It's going to be excellent ! :)
