Hello everyone! I just started a new job and received a fresh laptop, two monitors, and a docking station. Since I already have a custom-built computer, I’m curious if there’s a simple method to transfer inputs from my personal PC to the workstation. I’m fine with having two keyboards, but I mainly want to use my PC for gaming or photo editing. I’ve read about KVM units and splitters, but I’m not sure how to apply them here. Could anyone suggest an easy way to switch connections on the monitors? Thanks in advance!

Are you asking if you'd like to connect additional monitors to your main computer as well?
Many contemporary displays offer multiple input ports and allow switching between them via the operating system interface.

Order just an hdmi switch for switching monitors. Or consider a kvm option.
