Windows 10: PC and laptop KVM setup

I have a PC which I use two DVI-D monitors connected to the GPU. I also have a mouse, keyboard, and 3DConnexion space navigator connected to the PC. I currently run WIndows 10 and use it for Mechanical drafting in AutoCAD, and Inventor.
I have a customer who wants to give me a laptop which will be used to VPN into their network and I will be running Solidworks from it to do drafting/design work.

I need some assistance with the hardware and setup. I was thinking of using a docking station or KVM to connect my monitors, mouse, keyboard, and USB 3D space navigator to both the PC and the Laptop, so I can control either from the same dual monitor setup.

My problem is I have not found a KVM that is really DVI-D dual monitor capable and has the extra USB ports for my space mouse.

I thought of maybe using a docking station to connect the laptop to and then run to a KVM from there.

Any thoughts on how to set this up? what hardware and/or connections should I use?

Audio Issue

Kapil:

Got my issue resolved. I disconnected my entire audio setup from KVM switch (both computers). I then reseated all the connections at the sub-woofer and cables to the KVM switch and I now have sound on my Windows 10 box! I had re-seated the connections
for the speakers to the KVM switch but not the connections to the individual PCs.

Thanks for your help.

 

Microsoft Sculpt Mouse in Windows 10 Stops Working Randomly All The Time

I have an HP Envoy 810 and see the same problem.

I have a KVM switch in between with a home built PC as wekk as a Toshiba laptop and they have know issues with the random response lockups.

I know the keyboard is still working with the KVM switch as I am able to use keystrokes to move between PC's.

In fact if I change to one of the PC's and then come back to the 810 it works for a little while and then stops.

Microsoft any status in the issue ????

 

I also have not found a suitable DVI KVM switch so am staying with VGA for my 4 Desktops [one needs a DVI to VGA adapter]. An issue with Notebooks is not many, if any, have DVI ports, newer ones don't even have VGA, have gone with HDMI or DisplayPort, apparently all in the name of thinner and lighter.

 

So what setup do you suggest?

 

The only way I see it usable for me is just to use the Notebook/Laptop as is or if room permits attach its own large monitor. Not only is the DVI part of the issue but so is the dual-monitor setup. I might peruse some of the high-power gamers sites for suggestions, they drive a lot of the technology needs of the last several years [bigger/better/faster, etc.].

 

I think I am going to attempt to find a KVM that supports one DVI-D connected monitor and set it up this way...

Main PC monitor 1 connection to KVM
Laptop monitor connection to KVM

When I switch to the Main PC I should have dual screen,
When I switch to the Laptop I will have one screen usable and the other will be showing whatever the Main PC has on Monitor 2.

That should at least give me a way to utilize my current setup and add the Laptop when needed.

 

Found one. I'm going to try it out.
