A Rust utility that watches USB device connect/disconnect events and switches monitor inputs via DDC/CI, turning a cheap USB switch into a full multi-monitor KVM solution. It runs on all connected computers so monitor inputs switch automatically in both directions.
Use cases
- turn a cheap USB switch into a multi-monitor KVM
- automatically switch monitor inputs when switching computers
- build a 4K60 dual-monitor KVM without expensive hardware
- switch all monitors to a different input with one button press
- control monitor input source via DDC/CI from the desktop
When to choose
- you share monitors, keyboard, and mouse between two or more computers
- you want KVM functionality without buying an expensive 4K-capable KVM switch
- you need per-monitor input switching configurations
When to avoid
- your monitors do not support DDC/CI input switching
- you need a single-box hardware KVM with no per-computer software installation
- you need USB-C video switching handled in hardware
