There are many hardware and software solutions available on the market, but I found most of them to be lacking in one way or another. My requirements for this setup were:</p> <ul> <li>Supporting 3-4 different computers: 2 Laptops and 2 desktops.</li> <li>Supporting full resolution and 60hz on a 34&quot; wide screen display</li> <li>No input lag or dependency on the network to share devices</li> <li>Easy to add/remove peripherals to/from machines. Only the keyboard, mouse, and webcam should be shared across all devices.</li> <li>I should not have to change any monitor settings or flip more than a single switch to transition between computers once they are plugged in.</li> </ul> <p>A combination of hardware and software issues have plagued me until just recently, when I was finally able to get everything working the way I wanted.</p>
