Does anyone have a recommendation for a KVM switch for 3 machines? Unfortunately the machines only have Displayport and VGA, no HDMI. I find lots of cheap HDMI switches, but only very pricy ones with Displayport. And the monitor in question does no longer have VGA input...

And needing 3 ports makes it even more expensive... :-(

ich fasse es nicht: neulich habe ich versucht, hier einen KVM-Switch von #TESmart zu installieren: geht ganz gut, wenn man davon absieht, dass ein HDMI-Output kein Signal liefert.
Ich habe darauf hin nun einen KVM-Switch von #Ugreen kommen lassen und stöpsele den gerade an und ... GENAU das gleiche Problem?
Ein HDMI-Output bringt kein Signal raus.
Zufall?
Das Problem sitzt vor dem Switch?
Was mache ich falsch?

for anyone that's unaware: seems like the #KVMswitch software community has finally settled on #Deskflow as the successor to #synergy and #inputleap and #barrier?

complete with, at a surface level, what looks like a protocol spec others can write software to

not super deep into it but this looks like a good and useful thing if you're sharing mouse and keyboard between systems https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow

I now have a KVM switch hooked up to both the Mac Mini and my Windows PC so I can use the same keyboard and mouse on both computers.

This obviously frees up more room on my desk since I don't have to have two mice and two keyboards on the computer desk.

Just a push of a button and they switch right over to the one I'm wanting to use.

I'm looking for #DeskSetup ideas. I currently have one 34" monitor and two #MacBooks that I use _open_ not in clamshell mode. My desk is 135cm wide and I'm struggling to fit everything next to each other. A stacked #LaptopStand or even one tall one with enough space underneath would be ideal but they don't seem to exist. I'm also looking into a #KVMSwitch or #KVMSoftware. Can you show me your #DualLaptop setups?

All the problems I had with the PiKVM and TESmart KVM switch were fixed with this one cheap little device.

Does Your Next Monitor Need a KVM Switch?

Barrier is a free and open source alternative to Synergy for sharing a keyboard and mouse cross-platform

Yes I did post about this application a good two years back, but it is well worth repeating. Yes you could run VNC or similar remote manager, but that is often a lot of overhead as it's also replicating the display.
I use Barrier when I want to do something on my Macbook Air and the Macbook is connected to one of my desktop screens, and I can then use my mouse and keyboard that I'm using on my main Linux desktop machine, with the advantage of clipboard copy-and-paste between the two as well. This will work just as well with a dedicated Raspberry Pi that you just attach to one of your screens. It works across Windows, Linux (inc Pi), FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and MacOS.
Synergy went paid model only and Barrier was forked from it, so it is fully open source and free to use. https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e10154c4cb9a94149ae2997f11d2f5b25df
