KVM issue
Hello, I see you're looking for guidance on a KVM switch setup. It sounds like you're trying to connect your new mouse and keyboard to both your work laptop and gaming PC. You mentioned issues with switching between devices even though you've updated your peripherals. Could you clarify if the problem lies in the settings or the connection type (Bluetooth, wired, etc.)? I'm here to help you figure out what's going wrong!
You switched your KVM to a USB switcher yet still use it for mouse and keyboard control like a traditional KVM. It can be tricky to identify, but some devices struggle with reconnections. Your mouse or keyboard might attempt alternative connections when the switcher is active. Also, differences in configuration between computers could cause issues. What options exist? Since you don’t need the video switcher, basic KVMs with USB ports and older connectors (VGA/DVI) are affordable alternatives. You might also explore software solutions like RDP or VNC, which allow input transmission over local networks. This lets your mouse and keyboard stay linked to one machine while sending data to another via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Good luck!
Thanks for your helpful reply! I'm excited to give the rdp option a try. Let me know how it goes.
