Any remote solution won't be responsive enough for what you want

Posted

Hey, I need a tech tip. 

I recently got a new PC and rebuilt my old PC for my GF to use while I'm on mine. 
Both are on the same table and working fine, but, I had to give up my Wacom graphics tablet for her to use as a monitor. 
But I need it for Zbrush and Substance Painter. 
I don't wanna unhook it every time and move the cables between the computers when she wants to play Sims 4. 
I suppose I could get a switch and plug the Wacom into it, and plug it into both PC's and flip the switch when she wants to play, but thats not a "right now" solution. 
I tried TeamViewer but there's some lag when I try to run Zbrush and sculpt on the graphics tablet. 

Maybe y'all know a better way?

I'm willing to do software options if they are practically latency free.
Both the computers are on Ethernet.

Thanks for your advice!

You could try moonlight for remote desktop if you have an nvidia graphics card. But really you should just buy her a cheap 1080p monitor

I used to use steam link to stream my pc to my phone

 

Although it works with steam games only, you can alt tab with a keyboard connected to the PC and it'll just show the rest of the desktop

 

Granted... It wasn't a great experience but the latency is very minimal

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately
