Away from home at the moment, but this looks like it will “complete” my current set up very nicely.

I have 2x Dell P2319H (1080p) monitors and have my work laptop connected via DP with my gaming desktop connected via HDMI. Then I have a dumb USB switch with a button on it to switch my USB devices between the two computers.

If the other computer is off/sleeping the screens most of the time automatically switch to the correct inputs, but sometimes I need to use the screen controls to do it.

This set up cost 10s of dollars as opposed to 100s for a proper KVM switch and it’s worked pretty well for the last 2.5 years.

I’ll try this utility when I get home and it will hopefully make it so the USB switch’s button is all I’ll need to press and it will work, even if both the computers are turned on.

This is really similar to my own setup, only difference being my monitors are 3k and a portrait 1200p. Been using Display-switch for something like 2.5 years too, and never had an issue with it!
