I have my pc and my mac desktop next to
each other on my desk using 2 keyboards and
2 mouses- my mac is all in one:
my question is how can i share the 2
computers by using the same keyboard and
mouse wether by somehow turning my mac
into a monitor for my pc desktop , splitting or
sharing the pc desktop to the mac somehow
or is there a connection solution i can buy-
any advice would be helpful!

i tried just plugging in the mouse and keyboard and leaving the
monitor unplugged and it would not work- would not recognize
my keyboard and would not switch between ports either- any

To my knowledge, the Mac monitor is only for the Mac since it is an all-in-one.
The only option wouldl be installing Windows OS on MAC to utilize one keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
Else maybe a KVM for keyboard and mouse only? Not sure that exists though
