[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1951659, member: 396914"] If the Viewsonics have two HDMI ports, connect a cable from the two computers to the two ports and then use the monitor controls to select the port you want to use. If the keyboard/mouse use wireless, then just switch them through the settings on the two computers. Or, get another keyboard and moust and dedicate them to specific computers. That way all you need to switch are the monitors. The USB peripherals are also switchable by using a USB Hub (much cheaper than KVM), and moving the cable to the hub from one computer to the other as you need to. With two KB and Mouses, all you need to move is one cable. [/QUOTE]
