HDMI selector / switch is a thing, i never tried DP switch.

Google it. there are many flavors HDMI to HDMI, DP to HDMI, DP+HDMI to both etc.

It's a simple mechanical wiring switch, nothing fancy, shouldn't be expensive.

Buy StarTech HDMI/DP Selector 4:1 (VS421HDDP)

Hello, I'm looking for a switch or some form of solution to an inconvenience I'm having. I have 1 computer hooked up to dual monitors, 1 HDMI and 1 display port, and I just built a flight rig and it has its own dual monitors, 1 HDMI and 1 display port. I don't want to have to swap the cables each time I use the flight seat, and then swap them back when I use my PC. Any ideas or solutions to make my life easier?
