If you're looking for some one cord solution for your Macbook, your not really going to find one that work in conjunction with using a KVM.ĭifferent brands of graphic cables work better than others. They do not play well with docking stations/port replicators. Mine is only an HDMI KVM that can switch between 4 computers (1 M1 mini, 1 intel mini and 1 Dell laptop for my setup) with one monitor. It's a KVM switch that does dual monitors, one HDMI and one Displayport.įor reference, I use a KVM switch made by the same company (DEPZOL an CKLau are made by the same company). This one seems like it would be the best fit for your use case. You are right, that you are going to need to use a KVM. Is anyone using one? Or have any suggestions on one that will definitely work? There are so many options, but none of them seem to be what I need, but I'm also not very well-versed on these things and maybe just don't know what I'm looking for.

I'm assuming a KVM is the only option, but I'm really struggling to find one that will work with both Macs. I need some way to easily just plug my Macbook in and switch the monitors to that feed when I'm working, and then switch back to my Mini when I'm not working. I know I can get a KVM switch that will allow me to connect the monitors to it, but I'm having a really hard time finding a KVM switch that will work with this specific setup.

But I'm hesitant (and it's also just annoying) to constantly plug/unplug the cables to swap between computers. I have a Magic Mouse and wired keyboard hooked up through that for daily use.įor work, I have a new 2022 Macbook Pro M1 with no monitors (and no room to add more monitors) that I'd love to be able to just use the existing two monitors with.

I have an old Thunderbolt Display (via display port to USB-C dongle) and a new LG 4k monitor (via HDMI) for a dual monitor setup on my Mac Mini M1 and it works great.
