      I currently have a GameRoomSolutions Bartop Deluxe Arcade Cabinet (20-button / 2-Player Layout). I have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and an Odroid Xu4. I would like to wire a HDMI switcher to an arcade button. Any ideas?

        If your arcade buttons connect via USB you could use a standard HDMI KVM switch such as KVM on Amazon While i havnt tried this one personally i have been using KVM switches for years and they get the job done.

        Edit: Here is the exact one i have in the office Startech 2 port. Its survived a few thousand button presses switching from computer to computer over the last 2 years...possibly longer and is still kicking. I cut the 3.5mm cords off as i didnt need them, but you might.
