Switch for T61/Mini-Dock and my Desktop?
Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 3:17 pm
I just got a Mini-Dock and laptop stand for my T61. I love running two monitors while working and I got a new Wireless desktop as well. However, that's all for work and I have a desktop for personal email, music, etc.. That is where my big monitor was connected to up until now.
I really don't want to have to hook one of these systems into the VGA instead of the HDMI connection and I definitely don't want to have two keyboards/mice or have to plug/unplug usb cables every time I want to switch back and forth.
Can anyone recommend or is anyone using any kind of HDMI/usb switch that I can just have a keyboard shortcut to switch from one system to the other? For now I'm going to remote desktop to my desktop but I'd much rather find some kind of hardware solution.
