Nice πŸ˜„, The "B&W" workstation looks simple. I can see a laptop is connected to Monitor and then also has another PC , So how can both laptop and PC can be controlled by only one mouse ?

I have logitech M720 Triathlon mouse and MK850 keyboard - it has 3 Bluetooth profiles. Really happy with it. The mouse scroll wheel can be a bit loud, but there is a button to silence the grrr grrr grrr. TBH - the scroll noise doesn't bother me - it bothered my co-workers when I still had co-workers.

A KVM, I assume. I use one to switch my keyboard and two monitors between my employer’s laptop and my much studlier personal workstation. It can also switch audio, but I have yet to find one that can switch random usb devices like cameras reliably and not just HIDs.

To share kb/mouse across PCs - try Input Director (free), Synergy, or Multiplicity.

Looks like Logitech MX Master 3 which can take advantage of Logitech Flow software. Can use one mouse seamlessly on multiple devices.

This workstation stood out to me too!

I use a USB hub to my monitor, which lets me use peripherals between PC and MacBook with a press of a button. Love it!

Some (10?) years ago I've tried every solution I could find. Synergy was by far the best one and has worked flawlessly ever since. Supports Win/Mac/Linux. Haven't used Synergy the last couple of years but even Android was unofficially supported.

Haha, I love this.

I was always wondering how can I make the most from running and learn coding at the same time. You inspired me :)
Thanks

I had to add a workspace for my wife (she's a teacher) during the COVID school shutdown. It cut my office space in half but at least my desk situation remained the same and now that she's back at school, I gained a second workspace. 😁.had a view of the city

I can tell you exactly what's wrong with the "there's gotta be something wrong with that guy's" guy -- the same thing that's wrong with a lot of us -- a complete lack of space and needing to make do with what we've got.

number 1 is just beautiful! (though I think I'd stare at the view all day long instead of working 😁)

This is mine: mouse and keyboard on the left can control both the desktop pc and the laptop in the corner, through a kvm switch. During the lockdown, my wife worked from home too: she loves my 21:9 monitor so she used it with her work laptop, while I was on the 3-display setup on the right.

Hahaha #13 was the best one πŸ˜‚ besides that I started feeling left out of the "cool workstations" crew. I only have an standing desk, my laptop and a small Smart TV being used as a secondary screen xD
