In my own time I like to game and I've got a sPC for that, but I also work from home 2 days a week.
I do this all at the same desk, from my work I've gotten a doc on which I've connected my 2 monitors and when I'm working my laptop is connected to that.
But to use my mouse and keyboard (and preferably also my mic and webcam) I need to unplug the M&K from my gaming system and plug them into the doc.

 

Is there an easy way to switch between systems that doesn't require unplugging and plugging cables at the start and end of the day?


My monitors auto swap between the 2 systems, the PC has a connection to the monitors with Display, the doc has a connection with HDMI cables.

Peripherals I want to use:
- Keyboard uses 2 USB's (has one build in USB connection
- Mouse

- Blue Yeti USB mic
- Webcam

My monitors also have USB ports build in, but I can't hook those cables up to the doc I have for my laptop.

 

I appreciate all the tips/suggestions to solve this, thanks in advance!

Use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Both can switch devices with a couple of clicks. As a keyboard suggestion - Ajazz AK980. If you won't like the typing experience, spend another 50-60$(frequently on sale) for a set of GATERON 0° Silent switches.

I've got a Corsair mechanical keyboard with mouse, so I feel like that's not worth the swap
