What KVM?

Now I realize you may have been asking what kvm I’m using . It strapped to the bottom of my desk so you cant see it . Here is the exact one I have TRENDnet 2-Port Dual Monitor DisplayPort KVM Switch with Audio, 2-Port USB 2.0 Hub, 4K UHD Resolutions Up to 3840 x 2160, Connect Two DisplayPort Monitors, Dual Monitor KVM Switch, Black, TK-240DP https://a.co/d/epAHtkR

Yeah, that’s what I was asking. DP KVMs are a bit of a hit and miss. Any problems with it?

This one works perfectly was just a little expensive. I got cheap one the first time and my monitors would turn off and on with my gaming PC .

It’s a device where you can plug in things like monitors, mouse keyboard, etc and then that plugs into both PC’s and you can switch back and forth without having to unplug anything. here is an example of one . 4K@120Hz DisplayPort KVM Switch 2 Computers 2 Monitors DP1.4, KVM Switches Dual Monito 8K@60Hz with 3 USB 3.0 Ports Share Keyboard Mouse Printer (EDID Plug and Play) and Wired Remote, USB3.0 Cable*2 https://a.co/d/h9vJ0Uu
