is there a way i can have both my PC's hooked up to one mouse and one keyboard

Not that I know of. My way would just to unplug and plug. There may be some kid of thing that'll let you but I'm not totally sure about that.

yes, a KVM will allow you to use 1 monitor, 1 keyboard, and 1 mouse, with 2 computers... You can find these at any electronics retailer... they can range from $15-$200 depending on the feature set you want...

However, If you want to go the virtual route, you can use Synergy providing you have 2 monitors. (you can just use 1 keyboard and 1 mouse)


If you want the lowest cost you can use VNC, Remote Desktop (already built into windows), or ssh... I usually just use Logmein.com or Teamviewer.

If one of your computers is your actual gaming box, remember, the hardware kvm will give you a considerable amount of input lag; So take that into account.

one of my PC is my gaming rig and my other one is like for media movies and what not since its some what lower end on the graphics, so id just like to jump back and forth with our the hassle of unplugging and plugging in since one is a custom and the other is a All-in-one build from Sony

I used to have one of these. You hooked monitor, keyboard, and mouse to a switch, then it went to both pc's. Double tapped f12 and it swapped.


Was great

If you have 2 monitors, use synergy ( link posted in my response above) free and perfect for your situation.

From what you said, Synergy would be the best option.

I have two pc's... One for work and one for... whatever... use a belkin DVI-USB switch, got it for free but it costs in the low 100s. If you want like a ps2 keyboard/mouse and VGA KVM, they're like $30 for a decent one like stated above.

all you have to do is take out the hdd's in the media one and hook it up to your gaming rig... if you dont have enough space, then just make your media pc a server. you'll be able to stream all of your media. (excluding hd video's) fast enough over a wireless n network.

if you need help making a wireless network to set up a home-server just pm me and i'll guide you through step by step.
