What other ports do you have on the back of your monitors? I have something plugged into each monitor input (HDMI, DVI & vga) and I just use the on-monitor switch to toggle over to another input since some of them I only use occasionally. I use a usb hub with toggle button to switch the kbd/mouse b.etween machines. Most of the time I'm using dual monitors off my main PC but occasionally Ill switch so the second monitor is showing one of the other computers then I'll toggle the kbd/mouse over when I need to set something running.
This is the switch I'm using and I have it right next to the kbd & mousepad so I can toggle quickly back and forth https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BD8I3EI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 lopaka On Sun, Apr 30, 2017 at 1:23 PM, Bobby Heid <bh...@sc.rr.com> wrote: > Hey, > > > > I recently built a new PC.
