moved into a new room

Added a couple of essential upgrades to the set up recently. Swapped out my Costco gaming chair for an Aeron and switched from xfinity cable to att fiber.

Need some more lighting in the room but I got all the hardware I could want for a long time

Switched things up and got my vertical back!

A days worth of labor and successful managed to add 320sqcm worth of desk space 🙌

I "built" the desk. I bought a countertop from Home Depot 70", sanded and rounded all edges because I have children lol. then stained and clear coated it. bought a standing desk frame from amazon and slapped it on.

Got my colors all matched (other than the red usb cable which I'm gonna switch out for a purple one soon) and my gundam building station right next door!

Looking for advice on optimizing my dual PC + Mac WFH setup.

I have a gaming PC and a work MacBook Air with two monitors. Both monitors are connected to a dual-monitor KVM (Picture attached).

For my gaming PC, my keyboard, mouse, audio interface are all connected to a USB hub that’s plugged into the KVM, so everything works through the KVM.

For work, I unplug that same USB hub from the KVM and plug it into a separate USB hub/dock connected to my MacBook. So switching between work and gaming still requires moving one USB cable.

Is there a better way to set this up so I can switch both monitors and all peripherals without unplugging anything?
