Hello!
I'm in a situation, where I have a work laptop and a personal computer, the latter is used mostly for gaming. In order to switch between them I have to plug all the peripherals from one machine to the other, to help with that I bought a dock, to which I can connect everything, and connect the dock via one USB-C cable. The trouble begins with the monitors, as my laptop supports thunderbolt, but my motherboard doesn't, so it's a bit of a chore to switch them.
To alleviate the issue I'm considering changing my motherboard to one that has thunderbolt 4 support, as I have one 4K monitor and one full HD, and I've read it should support them fine on one cable.
Is this a good solution? I'm thinking I might run into some issues with monitors not being connected directly to my GPU, latency or otherwise.
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!
