    I have 3 PCs in the following setup:

    PC #1
    =====
    1x keyboard
    1x mouse
    1x monitor
    Used by user #1

    PC #2
    =====
    1x keyboard
    1x mouse
    1x monitor
    Used by user #2

    PC #3
    =====
    2x monitors (one at User #1 location; one at User #2 location)
    Should be controlled (keyboard/mouse only) by either user #1 or user #2 - one user at a time

    User #1 should be able to switch control of PC #1 and PC #3 through their own one keyboard/mouse.
    User #2 should be able to switch control of PC #2 and PC #3 through their own one keyboard/mouse.

    Can you offer a solution to accomplish this?

    Hello Abraham,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    To accomplish this you will need a combination of a KVM splitter (Reverse KVM) and 2x KVM switches.

    CS261 KVM splitter will get connected to PC #3, allowing PC #3 to be controlled by user #1 and user #2 - one at a time.

    2x 2-port CS72D KVM switches will each serve each of the two users, allowing the user to switch between his/her own computer (port #1) and PC #3 (port #2 connected to one of the ports on CS261).

    Hope this helps!
