Hello

I am looking for suggestions and options for the following configuration:

I have a laptop and a tower computer.

The tower currently has dual monitors. As my eyesight isn't what it used to be, I would like to use the dual monitors from
the tower and connect to my laptop.

I don't want to plug and unplug the cables all the time.

So asking the forum if there is a switch that would allow me to use the dual monitors on both computers.

I did find one, but it wasn't the correct one. It shared via extended screens from one computer to another

Any suggestions or options would be appreciated
 
Yes you can use a kvm switch.
We will need a lot more information as the monitors, kvm, laptop all have to align.
Make and model of monitors OR the input method they accept. E.G Vga HDMI etc.
Make and model of the laptop OR The output the laptop has. E.G Vga usbc etc.
Also the same info for the desktop.
