    16 MBP M3 Max + Gaming PC sharing a LG 38inch Gaming Monitor. DisplayPort KVM switch vs HDMI on MBP?

    Hi all. I just pulled the trigger on a new M3 Max 16-inch (STOKED!). I have a 38-inch LG ultrawide monitor (LG 38GL950G-B), which is currently hooked up to my gaming PC via DisplayPort. It's a great monitor that supports up to 175hz, HDR (technically), and is 3840x1600. I'm hoping to easily...

    KVM switch for Pro Display XDR to two M1 MBPs?

    I’ve read a few posts related to this topic, but with slight variations and no definitive answers. Does a KVM switch exist that can support switching between two M1 MBPs on a Pro Display XDR?

    KVM - Here's a "problem" I don't think is solve-able

    Hey all! I have a pc and a mac pro and I use both for my work. I have an ergonomic setup with a KVM switch that all works quite well apart from one detail. I don't like using a mouse - I'd much rather use a trackpad. I've found a number of Bluetooth trackpad that work for both, but for the KVM...

    Synergy app (virtual keyboard/mouse sharing) and Big Sur issues?

    Before the 2019 Mac Pro I wanted to run a six 5K monitor setup and found a pretty damn decent solution with the Synergy app and 2 iMacs. On the Symless website it currently says Big Sur is unsupported (but planned) but I was wondering if anyone had any real world issues with the latest Synergy...

    Two Macs, 1 pair of speakers = DAC/Mixer/Amp – what do I need?

    Hi all, I'm looking for a good solution to my audio dilemma: I have two Macs on my desk – an older Mac Mini and 16" MacBook Pro (which replaced a 2014 MBP) – and I need to share peripherals to save space. Previously I had an IOGEAR Thunderbolt KVM switch, but it was getting unreliable and I...

    Connecting MBP and my PC to a *single* monitor + keyboard + mouse setup

    Sorry if this is not the right forum for asking this question, please move appropriately. So I have a PC setup with an ultrawide monitor + mechanical keyboard and a nice mouse (all wired). Monitor has HDMI and Displayport inputs. Mouse and keyword are standard USB-A. I want to integrate my 16"...

    macOS server in MacPro 2012 or virtualized in KVM/Qemu?

    Hi, I need to set up a file server for my company. We have around 10 users, with only 2 PCs (accounting). We use a gigabit switch so nothing crazy like 10GbE. We have a few Web Designers who need to have access to files relatively quick. I have 2 machines lying around to do that job which are...

    Share Cinema screen among MacBook Pro and Ubuntu Desktop

    I've got a nice newish 27'' cinema screen which I use together with my MacBook pro in clamshell mode. Loving how it works as a docking station - e.g. I've a time machine drive attached to the screen so every time I attach my laptop to the screen it takes a backup. But I have some computational...

    Good kvm to share keyboard and mouse

    Are there any kvm switches out there to share a keyboard and mouse between a Macbook and mini ? It needs to be hardware because sometimes my MacBook will not be available and I'll need to use the Mac mini. I usually use the MacBook as my workstation and the mini runs headless. My monitor has a...

    I'm looking into getting a kvm switch so my wife can use her work PC and our home macbook pro with our apple display (23" cinema DVI). I'm considering this iogear which has DVI, but her PC laptop has a VGA connector. I think to get this to work, I'll need a DVI-D Female to VGA Male adapter...
