Like Tom M, I also use a 4-port KVM switch, though it is a bit different from Tom's.
Your Logitech receiver is VERY similar to what I've used before and still use today. I have 3 each of keyboards and mice and have been absolutely frustrated at losing track of which one was connected to which computer. That's why I got my KVM switch. Yes, you can get one with 16 ports for computer connections and connect it up to just one monitor, or in my case my 55" Samsung TV.
Here are some links to help you make a decision if your interested in a KVM switch. Keep in mind, you'll need to connect them all via cables, and that CAN get pricey depending on the length, cost and quality of the cables used.
I have used KVM cables in the past but they were not thin like network cables and unwieldy when you get past 4. Also they can be a pain to get the right length ones as these are too short and those are too long.
YES I like the idea of using a KVM but not the practicality of it .
As for using Boinc Tasks or the built in Windows or Linux stull right now just isn't practical either. I CAN connect to some pc's with WinVNC but even when it install correctly the remote pc sometimes refuses the connection. YES this sounds more like a config problem and I have been working on it but it persists on SOME pc's.
Don't use the stock Windows remote desktop app. Use some thing else. I remember it screwing up thing that made it impossible to use to remote into Windows crunchers.

I tried using Remote Desktop to access a Windows11 cruncher and it disabled the gpu on the target computer. What a waste of $200 for Win11 Pro.
I never had ANY problems with BOINC/Einstein and other projects on Windows.
Nor XP, VISTA, WIN8 or WIN7 ...
I don't even know where I stand in the ranking ...
Keep on the good work.

I was not trying to say "problems". Only from a production point of view, the other thread recommended the Btp7/meerKat tasks as the most productive of the available Nvidia GPU tasks for Windows.

As much as I love using Linux

I wonder how much production I would lose if I switched to Windows on my main cruncher?

I'll be migrating both Windows machines to Linux.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

This might be a real world answer. Two Titan V's and Windows.

On another thread a Top 50 participant has recommended Brp7/meertKat for Nvidia/Windows systems.
I am currently testing to see if that is also true on a low end Amd iGPU under Windows.
