Displayport KVM recommendation - 3 Daisychained Monitors, Wireless keyboard and mouse

[hammer99]

I'm looking for a kvm solution.

I have 3 Dell U2417H monitors. Max res 1920x1080

I currently drive them from my laptop via a Dell Thunderbolt dock. I connect 1 monitor via a single DP cable to the dock, and then daisy chain into the other 2 monitors.

In addition I have a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.

I now want to be able to share the monitors and peripherals with a second PC via a KVM. The second PC will also be equipped with displayport.

So I guess what I'm looking for is a 2 port displayport KVM that supports up to 3 daisychained 1920x1080 monitors and wireless keyboard & mouse. No need for sharing of audio or any other peripheral.

This will basically allow me to switch from work laptop to gaming PC with ease. Refresh rates aren't too important, because I also have a single 4k panel directly connected to the gaming PC which is the primary gaming monitor - I just want the 3 monitor setup for mostly non gaming tasks.

Any recommendations?

I looked into similar with just 2 monitors and found KVM's start to get really pricey. You can check out Startech.com, they have a 3 monitor switch but it is $421. I ended up just using the monitor input switches, so you would have to push a button on all 3 monitors to switch and then used a USB switch box to switch the keyboard and mouse.
