I use one of these for my peripherals. https://a.co/d/5EAgnG4
KB, mouse, mic, and Webcam. All three monitors have display cables going to both machines. I don't use both simultaneously, so one stays in sleep mode, that way monitor input will auto switch.
That's the cheapest/easiest solution I've come up with.
That sounds like a solution, although I was hoping I could do it with less cables, there's already a mess under my desk 😅 I'll check it out though, tanks!
Ahhh yea, unfortunately don't have a better solution for that. Was easy for me since I use a three monitor arm, so I just hid all the cables in/on that bad boy lol. Good luck!
