Does anyone use a input/hdmi switch for a company laptop and GFE? I am hoping to plug my monitor, keyboard, mouse and other peripherals into a hub, and the switch between the two laptops with a button/switch.

I don’t think the ones I’ve found would violate any GFE rules but curious if anyone had experience.

Are you trying to connect company laptop to GFE?

Nope, I want to avoid that. I just want to be able hit a switch that then changes the laptop connected to the screens.

I use a hub, I have 4 monitors on my desk and it’s the only way to do it, but no switch

Yeah I’m thinking this may be the only option. Plug everything into a hub and then plug into laptops as needed.

Following. If anyone can describe how they did it (including Amazon or webstore links), I would be v grateful

I have an HDMI switch for each monitor and a peripheral switch (4 USB in to 4 USB out).

Peripherals are a wireless mouse/keyboard, webcam, microphone, and sound bar. Personal laptop and work laptop plugged into peripherals.

One monitor has two inputs for the switch for personal and work laptop. Other has three for the laptops and my gaming console.

Not sure why this wouldn't be allowed or how it would be detectable.

My monitors have multiple inputs and I use Logitech mx keys + master 3s mouse which both can sync to 3 devices. Switching requires a click per device but I’ve never found a switch device that consistently works

I also use Remote Desktop from my work laptop to my personal during work hours for personal stuff - yeah, they could key log me but I’m not doing anything sensitive anyway

Has anyone been given an offer or received further movement on their application after a month or more from your last interview? Not sure if it’s odd that the company reached out after my final round interview to have a call and “discuss next steps” but then they haven’t responded to me since I’ve followed up (I’ve poked 3 times every 11 days or so but I plan to leave it be now until they respond).
