A little background:
A control room with 8 displays attached to 4 machines. All 8 are monitored by some users with just one keyboard and mouse.
Right now we are using a Startech 4 port KVM as a simple USB switch, because we only need to change which machine is holding the keyboard and mouse.
Next week we're are going to install 2 more machines and 2 more displays, and I'm trying to find a solution that keeps just one keyboard and mouse to control all 6 machines.
Constraints I need to meet:
- No DIY
- No Alibaba/AliExpress/second hand ebay (ebay new is ok)
- Expandable to 12/16 machines (again, only one keyboard + mouse)
- Budget limited to 300€ + VAT (maybe more if the solution is liked by boss)
- Not software based (see post #7)
- Supersimple. Like plug 'n play (again, see #7)
Almost there: this one but it's out of stock and this one but it's from AliExpress.
Am I really trying to find unicorn's blood?
Edit: Update requirements
