Multiple PCs and Monitors on one Keyboard

[Christopher Simpson]

Hi everyone. I currently have 2 desktops and 2 monitors. I plan on getting another desktop and monitor for gaming. I looked into KVM switches but all that came up were ones with only one video output. I want to use all of the PCs with one keyboard but each having their own monitor. Can anyone help me find one that i can use in the way described above?

Yeah, just plug the KB and mouse into the KVM but not the monitors, just plug them into their PCs like you would normally do.

Edit: typo.

Google the term "usb switchbox". There's a bunch of them.

But why do you need 3 PCs on 3 monitors? What exactly are you trying to do?

I have one for gaming, one for server hosting, and the other one I just fixed yesterday so don't really have a use for it.

Would it end up being like if i had dual monitors set up as in i move my mouse off the edge and goes to the next computer?

No. Your mouse only works on the PC, currently active on the KVM.

No but you could use a single PC to control the rest.

I have a multi screen setup and sometimes I have 1 PC desktop per screen, the rest of my PCs (servers) don't even have screens. I control everything thru the network.

Google "RDP".
