Hi all.

I'm wondering if this product exists?

 

A box that can take in two input sources (in this case a desktop & laptop) and allows you to switch which input source you want to use for the attached screens and peripherals. By current set up at the moment requires me to have to unplug all the cables from the desktop and plug them into the laptop (or in my case, a usb-c docking station) when I want to use the same setup (and vice versa).

 

Very simple diagram below

I've tried doing some googleing for this but I feel like I'm missing a key word as to what this product would be called. Or it just doesnt exist yet.

 

Thanks for any help in advanced!

Think you're describing a LVM. There are varying degrees of them, some are cheaper than others, some have more features than the others.
