Description

Monitor inputs can follow a USB switch so one keyboard-and-mouse setup behaves more like a full KVM. It is useful for users sharing multiple displays between computers without buying an expensive KVM switch.

This tool controls display input switching through hardware support such as DDC/CI. Test each monitor carefully, because incorrect switching can leave a machine without visible output.
