Connect 2 monitors to 2 different PC's? I'm overthinking this.

[Foster124]

Well, it's happened. I am now overthinking this I believe and cannot figure out what in gods name I need.

We have a user who works both on site and from home after hours. We plan to give him a laptop for home use but he said he would prefer to be able to hook both of his home monitors into the laptop. Prior boss told him we could just get him a switch to do that.

At this point, I don't believe the employee will be too thrilled if I tell him to just swap the monitor connections over to the laptop when he needs to. With that being said, can someone provide me with some input as to what he will need to simply switch both monitors over from PC 1 to PC 2, and back? If I am correct he is using VGA.

Thanks guys.

Depending on what are 2 computers you can simply use a simple USB dock (for monitors, network, other USB devices such as keyboard, mouse ...). I used to work from home and my setup can connect to any machines which have a native USB 3.0 port. 

I still had to move ONE cable from the dock to machines manually
