Can you double up on KVMs, so have one KVM go to another, so you could have different monitors in different places. Let’s say computers are in room 1 and there are a monitor and keyboard in both room 1 and room 2. How do you switch it to work on either one depending on what setup you are using.

Either with like a 4x4 and changing some firmware or two 2x2 2x2 only concern I see with 2 kvms is how do i switch inputs if one of the monitors and keyboards are in a different room Also I’m not sure if it’s possible to invert the functionaility to have it go to setups instead of 2 computers. won’t the hot keys change all of them a the same time making it do

The solution might be a KM and a Displayport Switch stacked with a KVM but just wondering if there is anything

That’s not how the kvm is designed to work.

The kvm is designed to allow multiple machines tp be electronically connected and disconnected from a single keyboard mouse and display via software.

If you want to control more than 4 machines from a dingle head, that is possible, but not particularly easy to do. There, you run into signal quality degradation issues for displayport.
