Thinking of easier way to toggle beyween 3 or 4 puters without having all the keyboards, mice etc. KVM switch looks like best way to go. Anyone use one of these? Is the switching from one pc to the other a cakewalk? Thks
if you need to switch monitors too, you might consider windows remote desktop, if you only need to switch keyboard and mouse you may consider synergy http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ both free and easy. I use both these and also have a kvm switch and i still usually use remote desktop into the other box on the kvm. if your monitors are dvi, those kvms are a little pricey.
do you need video switching too? or only keyboard and mouse. If only keyboard/mouse, try the below. I have been using it for about 6 months now, works flawlessly. It's free and you dont have to deal with all the extra cables that's required by a kvm box. http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/how-to-share-your-keyboard-and-mouse-in-realtime-with-synergy/ http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ edit: hah c99, we posted the same solution at the same time..how about that...
