[SOLVED] What kind of switch would I need for two computers to connect to two monitors using different inputs?

[djferguson]

I have a gaming pc connected to two monitors. One monitor uses DVI and the secondary monitor uses HDMI. I want a switch(or other solution) so that when I work from home I can come plug in my work laptop and use the same keyboard, mouse, and displays without too much of a hassle.

You're looking at a dual monitor KVM. They don't come cheap, and they have only one type video out, which will require using adapters.

You could just connect a USB docking station to your desktop, pull it and plug it into the laptop when you want to swap.

Or use the multiple inputs most monitors have to connect only to the docking station. (Though this wouldn't really deal with your peripherals)
