KVM Switches #33

Closed jwansek closed 2 years ago

jwansek commented 2 years ago

Has anyone tested any KVM switches to extend the functionality across multiple computers? If so it might be nice if this was added to the documentation.

Alternatively, since this project uses the pikvm project as an upstream, is it safe to assume that the KVM switches listed in that projects documentation also work with this?

ThomasVon2021 commented 2 years ago

Yes, the KVM switches listed in pikvm projects documentation also work.

Thanks. I'll join the discord. Hopefully I'll be able to test a few new KVM switches after my KVM arrives.

It's my understanding that some KVM switches don't play nice with BliKVM. I think this is because those KVM switches don't much adhere to standards (not because of BiKVM). Sorry I don't have more details but wanted to share with you.

For controlling just 2 systems I use 29 euro AIMOS HDMI KVM switch, https://amzn.eu/d/6knC4yF Works fine with hotkey switching ootb.
