Coming up on Hands on Tech, let's take a look at using a KVM with two laptops.

Stay tuned.

This is Twit.

Hello and welcome to Hands on Tech. I am Micah Sargent. And today we are answering, I think, a very

interesting tech question. That is my goal here to take your tech questions and answer them on

hands on tech. This week's question comes in from Robert, who writes, I hope you're doing well.

I am doing well. Thank you, Robert. I have a quick question for you. Well, it didn't end up being a

quick question, but thank you. I've got two MacBook pros, one for work and one for personal use,

and an anchor dock that helps me set up a triple monitor display along with my keyboard and mouse.

Right now, switching between my laptops feels a bit like a NASCAR pit stop.

I have to unplug my work computer from the dock, plug in my personal one,

and then switch my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse over.

Do you think I could add a KVM switch to make this process easier?

It would be awesome to switch devices with just the push of a button,

just like my speedy pit stops.

Thanks a bunch, looking forward to your thoughts.

Well, Robert, I love this question, and I've got a lot of thoughts about it.

And it starts with doing a little conversation here about KVMs.

Let's talk about kind of the pros and cons of using a KVM before we get into the nitty-gritty details.

First of all, pros.

The switching between devices with just the press of a button is very nice.

Not having to worry about running a cable this way, running, oh, no, now I've got it tangled up.
