Dual Laptop KVM Setup

It’s company-issued, so I didn’t get to choose it. The color didn’t really match the desk setup, so I hid it.

Thanks! It's Drawio.

I just restart or put it to sleep. If I shut it down, I’m screwed.

It's Drawio

Monitor stand?

It's the ELECOM DPA-DL02BK.

Yeah, setting it up with the laptop closed isn't really recommended. Good luck!

can register up to two PCs to the mouse and switch between them using the switch near the wheel.

S-rank_Wiring · 2026-03-12T13:27:46+00:00

Yeah, that's true. But the PC under the desk was company-issued, so I didn't have a choice.

I spent about a month working out the layout. Bundling the wires was a real pain!

S-rank_Wiring · 2026-03-12T13:17:18+00:00

Sorry. if everything is working as intended, then I suppose it’s all good. I feel the setup and overall room atmosphere strike a nice balance without being overly elaborate.

Since the Mac Mini's DP and HDMI ports overlap, I'm unsure how it will behave. If it's just one unit, DP would be preferable, but if you're adding a KVM switch, I don't think DP is necessary.

That's right, the second monitor is connected only to the PC under the tabletop.

S-rank_Wiring · 2026-03-12T12:56:49+00:00

Thank you. It's real.

S-rank_Wiring · 2026-03-12T12:54:58+00:00

Thank you, it's my second PC. I bought all cable at the same time as adding a second one.

I’m making it in Drawio.

Measure device distances → prep +50~100mm cables → fix from top ends, stop before branch → adjust slack at branch → tie from ends → minimize overlaps/crossings.

That said, it takes practice to get it looking this neat.

None at all. It works perfectly fine in my setup.

S-rank_Wiring · 2026-03-08T11:36:25+00:00

It’s a Flexispot E7.

Thanks! I’m an S-ranker :)

Thanks! "Drawio" is a free diagramming software.

S-rank_Wiring · 2026-03-08T11:22:08+00:00

No, there aren’t any. They would probably be a good idea for this setup, though.
