One monitor for two cars: HDMI splitter 4K HDMI switch, VILCOME 2 x 1

Like many people during the pandemic, my family has started working remotely more often. We live in an apartment (with my elderly mother) so not much space for two people to work from home. Luckily we have a cave that we use as an office. We needed a facility where we could use the office more frequently without having to switch laptops to use our single monitor. The office is very comfortable as it is set up to be productive. The splitter/switch was a great solution for our situation. We have a monitor stand and we put our laptops under the stand (stacked on top of each other). We don't move laptops often either. But we leave the laptop that needs to be moved more often on top for easier access and fewer headaches. Also, I've found that if you keep both laptops closed, you need to change your sleep and shutdown settings to never sleep or shut down. Otherwise the splitter script may not work as you have to open the laptop to restart the computer which is a problem if you set it up like in our photo. If you have a situation where you don't need to stack devices inside each other, the sleep settings aren't an issue. We stack our devices to use more desk space and keep things organized (looks less cluttered). The splitter is very easy to use. You just press a button when you want to switch from one device to another.
