equipment Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I am looking to use a laptop (Windows) and a mini-pc (Linux) with one screen and keyboard. Is there a switch device as a solution to be found? Where I can simply switch it back and forth?

Philip Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 If you're looking to use the laptop screen and keyboard, good luck - that's could get very tricky depending on your laptop's setup. Otherwise, look into KVM switches.

equipment Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 I am not looking to use the screen of the laptop, it is a separate display and a separate keyboard. Which I consider a sense making set up. Anyway, thanks for the response, because I found a good switch box (that is how actually call them), it is for VGA. I am wondering do you know of a good one for USB?
