Hey everyone! I could use some advice here. I've got a tower PC in my home office, a TV in the living room, and a projector set up in another room. My goal is to use my PC on both the TV and projector without experiencing any lag. I want to use a remote keyboard, mouse, and game controllers (my girlfriend loves using controllers, so I'm trying to keep things fun for us both!). I've come across the idea of using HDMI to Cat6 network cable converters, but I'm uncertain about how to connect my peripherals in the other rooms. Any suggestions, even if it means a total change of plans? Thanks a ton for your help!

Honestly, you could just throw this question at a tech-savvy AI like GPT! You’re likely to get a tailored response that digs deep into your setup's specifics. But if you prefer human input, just hang tight for more suggestions!
Gaming remotely without lag can be tricky! If you're looking for smooth performance, a high-quality HDMI cable is definitely the way to go, especially since you’re splitting the signal between a TV and a projector. But if your main use is for tasks like photo editing or streaming videos, that helps take the pressure off in terms of expecting zero lag when you play games occasionally. Just keep your expectations in check, and don’t hesitate to test a few setups!
And remember, some small lag can be okay for casual gaming as long as you’re aware of it!
You might want to consider running a long USB connector from your desk to the TV area. Plugging in wireless receivers for your keyboard, mouse, and controller into that USB run can help maintain a solid connection without needing complex setups.
Plus, it’ll allow you to position your gear more flexibly without being tied down!
That’s a clever idea! Keeping things wireless will definitely reduce the hassle.
Exactly! Just think of your needs first. If you're doing more light work and only the occasional gaming, a decent HDMI setup should handle that nicely.
