I've set up my gaming PC in an office, but I really miss gaming on my couch in the living room. What's the most low-latency method to run my PC's output and USB connections to my TV that's a room away? I've heard of KVM switches, but I haven't found any resources specifically addressing my scenario.

You might want to consider using Moonlight, which is a fantastic software for streaming games from your PC to another device over your local network. For best performance, definitely go with an Ethernet connection. If Ethernet isn't feasible in your setup, MoCA adapters can help run Ethernet through coaxial cables, or you might look at powerline Ethernet adapters, although their performance isn't as strong. Alternatively, if you're looking for something portable, the Steam Deck could be a good fit too! It’s a handheld gaming device that supports a range of games and is also capable of connecting to TVs. Plus, there's a helpful community around it if you need any tips.
Thanks for the detail! I don't really want to invest too much more since I built a beefy PC, so I think I'm going to try using the Moonlight client on my laptop and hide it in my entertainment center.
