Hello,
I have 2 pc's one old and one new. I have a Dell monitor that has 2 inputs 1 digital and one analog. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse for the new computer and a regular plug in keybord and mouse for the old one.
Currently I have both video cables from each of the PC's pluged into the monitor. the monitor lets me toggle between the 2 inputs,I swap out the keyboad and mouse and I am working on the other computer :( .
Is it possible to keep the Video cables connected to the monitor, and using a some kind of usb switch toggle the wireless keyboard and mouse from one pc to the other? :)
I have looked at the KVM switches but they are more geared for switching video as well as keyboard and mouse. In addition most of the KVM switches have only analog video connections. I don't mind pushing two buttons if I have to, I just want to get 1 of the keyboards and mouse off my desk.
Thanks for the help
