For those using both a gaming system and PC -How do you do it?

Forgive me if this is already in a thread somewhere...I've been searching and can't find the answer.

I see that many are using both a gaming system and a pc in their units. How do you switch back and forth? Are you unplugging your wheel each time and moving it to the other system or is there some sort of switching box/Y cable type of thing to make it easy?

Hoping for the switcher....

Thanks!

Well after doing some digging I found this on Amazon and I think it should work. I wish it was automatic, but I will incorporate it into the dash somehow (hopefully) so it shouldn't be a big deal.

I'll report back after I get it and try it out in case anyone else is ever looking for the same thing.

I think those guys who are using their cab as a PC just have one beefy machine in the cab - I don't recall anyone doing any switching.

Well, I figured as long as I have a ps3 sitting there doing nothing it might as well be used for racing! My nephew said he has several racing games he will donate to the cause since he upgraded to a ps4.

Probably the easiest way is to use a tv for a monitor and put the game console on one input and the pc on another.  For the wheel just have the usb plug somewhere close where you can switch it out.  You might actually be able to make a usb y-cable, but I don't know how electrically safe that would be.
