Hey guys, 

 

I have two laptops at the moment, one from work with Windows 11 and plenty of USB-C connections. My second and personal laptop is a MacBook Air M3 15-inch with 8GB.

 

I also have a laptop stand that is also a KVM, so today I am using it with my MacBook Air, but I am not sure if it's good enough to hold the job. Then I have two options:

 

  • Buy and USB-C Splitter with an A or B switch, so I can have only one cable out for my current KVM and switch between the laptops (I am not sure if the connections will hold it well, as I am aware the cables need to transfer energy, HDMI, keyboard and mouse)
  • Buy a new KVM that will support this switch between laptops better and provide better quality or speed (I am seeing a lot of options in the market with a big range of prices)

If you can please drop your recommendation, and also any hardware that you believe will do the work, that will be great. I am not looking for anything expensive, but something that will do the job for the best possible price.

 

 

 

Thanks!

Nah, but the idea could help even if not the specific product. There's quite a few KVM threads around, one of them might talk about mac more.
