That sure would work for me, just more mess for the existing cable mass under my desk ๐Ÿ˜…

It does have multiple ports I could use, though I was hoping I didn't need additional cables, but sure enough cables are cheaper than a new mobo or a physical KVM.

Remoting is certainly something I haven't thought of, latency shouldn't be a problem, only I'd need both machines to be on. Thanks for suggesting, it would save some money.

I do have free ports, so sounds like a plan, any KVM switches you'd suggest?

That sounds like a solution, although I was hoping I could do it with less cables, there's already a mess under my desk ๐Ÿ˜… I'll check it out though, tanks!

 

Hello! I'm in a situation, where I have a work laptop and a personal computer, the latter is used mostly for gaming. In order to switch between them I have to plug all the peripherals from one machine to the other, to help with that I bought a dock, to which I can connect everything, and connect the dock via one USB-C cable. The trouble begins with the monitors, as my laptop supports thunderbolt, but my motherboard doesn't, so it's a bit of a chore to switch them.

To alleviate the issue I'm considering changing my motherboard to one that has thunderbolt 4 support, as I have one 4K monitor and one full HD, and I've read it should support them fine on one cable. Is this a good solution? I'm thinking I might run into some issues with monitors not being connected directly to my GPU, latency or otherwise.

I beseech thee for help o masters of the PC.
