    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...

    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...
