Control Multiple Devices With The Same Monitor, Keyboard & Mouse (9 Methods)

Video Description

If you have multiple computers, servers/NASes or Raspberry Pis around your home, you might have struggled with a simple problem: how to control them all without having LOADS of keyboard, mice and monitors everywhere. I recently hit across this problem after building my Homelab NAS and lugging around a separate monitor and keyboard quickly got annoying: so I went looking for alternatives. It turns out that there's actually nine different ways of controlling multiple servers and computers with the same keyboard/mouse and monitor, as I explore in this video. I also discuss the pros and cons of each method. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The individual timestamps for this video are: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 00:00 Use Same Monitor And Keyboard 00:31 (1) - Hardware KVM 02:36 (2) - Monitor KVM 03:25 (3) - Monitor Menu Plus USB Keyboard/Mouse 04:15 (4) - USB Switch 05:34 (5) - Logitech Unifying 06:25 (6) - Software KVM 08:12 (7) - Remote Desktop 08:52 (8) - SSH 09:56 (9) - KVM Over IP ~~~~~~ Credits ~~~~~~ Thanks to the following resources (sounds, images etc): "Pop-up Sound" by BeezleFM (https://freesound.org/s/512135/ -- License: Attribution 4.0) -- Pacific Ocean.flac by tim.kahn -- https://freesound.org/s/174763/ -- License: Attribution 4.0 -- 'California Calling (Instrumental)' by Jake Field, License ID: 3DojdxWL7G1 https://app.lickd.co/r/ea01c156a717486484f314505f44d438 --- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #HomeNetwork #HomeOffice #PCSetup
