Perfect answer to my question. Just purchased the 3.0 version through your link. Thank you.
you could have tried mouse with borders from microsoft
exactly what i needed, both my hubby and myself each have a laptop and pc but aren't techy, so thank you for showing everything!
Thank you for the Video! Ordered the 2.0 with your link! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for this short and informative video. Currently having a laptop running Linux for work and my Windows for other tasks and games, so I think this will be a really great improvement.
i just got a new job and wanted to also have access to my personal gaming laptop without looking too inconspicuous. this looks like exactly what i need, just ordered thanks!
GREAT Video!!! Wasn't sure if I could even do something like this... so I did a search and your video came up... thank you for posting it 👍👍👍
I bought this switch and it works just like it does with you, thanks for the video it really helped me out.
Thank you so much for this video. I've watched a few this morning & yours was, by far, the clearest & simplest. I appreciate that you showed us the full setup & then demonstrated how it worked. I just purchased this switch (but in the USB 3 version, which I probably didn't need) and will be using it to share with my work laptop. One question I have, my laptop is a Surface Pro, do you know if there are any additional considerations? I have recently been provided a docking station for the surface & I believe I would just connect that to this switch, correct? Thank you for any additional help you can provide.
Hey Chris! If your surface has a usb connection on that docking station then this should work just fine!
@@RAVisuals Thank you so much for the reply. I'm relieved to hear that. I have almost everything I need and will be setting it up soon.
Ok, so both computers a connected to the same monitor.
An previous to use the Kvm switch, he does the monitor switch at 4:41
Which was something it was not very clear to me in the video...
Pretty simple and awesome little tool. I've ordered the 3.0 version of that box. Can wait to see how it works!
I absolutely need this for my work laptop and my home desktop, as I'm sick and tired of using 2 sets of mice and keyboard.
Thank you. I knew there had to be a solution that cost less than $800. :) Ordered & awaiting delivery!!!
Thank you for the recommendation. Would this also work just fine between a gaming PC and a work laptop?
Thank you so much for this recommendation!! I was skeptical to try it at first because I wanted to try and have this work between my PC and Mac, but it worked like a charm!!
Hey thanks for the vid really usefull. Do you think that using it can create some sort of delayed in your mouse or keybor if ne of this computers is being use for gaming?
Thank you! This is so helpful! Getting it now!
Will this allow for both Monitors to work on both PCs? I need to swap between a PC and a Laptop and I want to use dual monitors for both
I watched your video a couple weeks ago and shut it to do that with mine. And it works great thank you very much for this excellent video,
Great video! Question: Is there any input using this switch instead of directly connecting the mouse and keyboard?
thanks for this. just received my new laptop so this is perfect timing :)
Thank guy for a cheap and easy solution!
I thought I was going to have to get a KVM for sure but thanks to this video I realized I can just use this switch with hdmi for my work pc and display port for my gaming pc
Does this add latency or any type of delay in your keyboard? My keyboard is super fast and I don’t want to slow it down with this but man I would love to use this device
Nice video, thanks. was looking at KVM switches but they seem a bit too complicated (especially the display part) and also expensive. this is much more down to my level lol
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I'm ordering one today!
does this work with a tablet? (usb c to hdmi)
How good is the button on that thing ?
How long do you think it will last if we're constantly switching every few minutes. I plant to connect my large monitor to my gaming PC and the office work laptop and it would be nice to have a single keyboard and mouce for both too, but I'll be switching very frequently.
I use it every day and I don't see it breaking any time soon!
for frequent switching I'd suggest a software solution, like Synergy or Barrier. I use Barrier most of the time, but it won't work with games that need direct access to the mouse hardware if the gaming PC isn't the server and the mouse directly connected to it. But mine is a rare case, because I need the mac keyboard hosted on the mac and the mouse connected on the gaming PC.
This is exactly what I need RN. Thanks for sharing.
I'm actually concerned about if there will be any input delay for when I'm gaming on other pc(gaming pc)?
Hey thanks for this. I wanted to get the 2.0 version but wasn't sure if it would work well. Now I know. 😎
No worries, Paul! Hope it works great for your setup 🤘🏼
Yep. REALLY helpful. Liked & subscribed.
I wasn't looking at the screen and heard that static noise at 4:04 and thought my computer freaked out lmao
thank you for this information, i didn't know the micro usb port in the back was for extra juice!
Thank you so very much for this. ❤
This switch it possible use with sound card like Komplete audio 1 or Scarlett Focusrite?
Don't use interfaces off hubs
Just what I needed thank you so much bro
Thank you so much for this video! I was looking for something like this. Appreciate you sharing this knowledge. 5/5!
You are so welcome! Thank you for the kind words!
Outstanding! There is also a download software call Synergy. This takes some computer savey to log into your pc, no box. I perferred the switch box you presented. Thank you very much.
I use a 4 port USB KVM switch that enables me to use the same mouse, keyboard, speakers, and game controller on my Gaming PC (5950X+3090), Mini PC (5900HX), and Steam Deck. All are connected to the same monitor (Samsung Odyssey Neo G8). 😁
Heck yeah! It makes productivity so much smoother
Does your KVM switch support high refresh rates for your monitor?
@EuromonkeyVW I use a USB KVM switch, not an HDMI or Displayport switch. I only use one monitor. But yes, my monitor is 4K, 240Hz, HDR, GSYNC, 1000+ nits monitor (Samsung Odyssey Neo G8).
Can I connect goxlr to this? And switch between gaming and streaming pc?
@@xellazSounds like you're using a "USB Switch", not a "USB KVM Switch".
The V in KVM is for Video, but what you're using is only switching USB peripherals. 🤓
Brilliant thank you, ordered the 3.0 version,
This is great for people with a PC x Console set up. Some games on console support KBM so it's great for that too but its especially useful for sending out quick text chats on your console game without having to unplug your keyboard from your pc
That’s great! I was thinking of buying a mini pc so I can stream, make vids etc and I was panicking about how I would set up my kbm to both.
Will probably get one for my Steam Deck and PC, but I need a dock too, I guess.
Time to think how to place them on my table, so it doesn't look cramped, x)
@@shi-woonyi2605 I’m dumb what’s a dock lmao
@@lucaswade._ Docking Station, I am bad at explaining but if you google "Docking Station" you will know what I mean.
that's exactly why im looking for a device like this too lol
Awesome explanation, thank you
I did not see how you connected the monitor. I have this product and it has no HDMI output for a monitor. How did you share the same monitor with both computers?
the device he is talking about only switches usb devices between the two pcs. As for how he switched between two pcs, he used something called kvm switch which he did not mention
if your monitor does have other output other than HDMI i.e. DP, DVI, then you can plug in another one to your other computer, then you should have an option to your monitor controls which output that you would like to use in between HDMI and the other one.
Perfect tutorial. My question now is how can I essentially share 1 display port from my monitor to switch between my pc and my MacBook. I have a USB hub Caldigit TS3 Plus which has just one display port
this is what i'm looking for because i have an older computer which has my autocad program on it, and will be getting possibly new computer to run newer windows and office programs, i saw you do something to switch monitor to use with the 2 computers, what did you do in that application as well?
Cheers bud!
Great help!
Awesome presentation!!
Is there a way to control two PCs at the same time without switching between them? I would like to experiment with a game I enjoy playing. My wife and I play a game together, so when she's at work it would be nice if I could set her character beside mine and help level her at the same time I am. Just curious though.
when switching does the pc working like a new usb is connecting or the keyboard/mouse are wotking instantly (like nevere disconnected) ?
Thanks for the video, really got tired of switching manually between my personal PC and work PC
no problem!
Did you connect your monitor to it via usb? I notice only one monitor switches. Great vid!
Yes, this did help my problem for I have two computers, unlimited disk space thank you
Thank you! Do you think it will cause any delay in performance if I use razer hyperspeed dongle for my wireless mouse and headset?
thx u sir! great content!
I have a pc for gaming and a Mac for everything else. This solved all the problems at my desk setup
So it works for Mac and pc?
@@mezmur_tube12 well I have the usb 3.0 version but yes, it works with mac and pc
Thanks man, that's exactly what I needed 👍
Thanks from Germany, that is the Shit in need to switch between my WIN11 and WIN XP PC. The Last one to play old Games =)
Just got me this one! Im using it for my PC and my MacBook Air
Does this work fine with Steelseries mouse and keyboard, and also does it not have any problems with the steelseries app?
do you know if i could use a usb to usb c cable to one my macbook pro instead of one of the include usb to usb cables? i would have my macbook pro as one computer and my windows 10 desktop as the second.
Very cool. Is there a version that does not require a physical touch button? Because of my disability, I cannot press a button.
Or how hard is it to press the button? Roughly how much force does it take?
This is the exact thing i was looking for. I don't need to buy another expensive keyboard and mouse with Bluetooth switch. Have you had any issues with latency?
Will this device work w an hdmi adapter for dual monitors? Right now my mom uses one of her lap top on dual monitors w an hdmi adapter and her other laptop she just doesn’t use w the monitors. But I’m wondering if I plug the usb part of the adapter in one of the usb ports, will both the monitors be accessible ?
What about the remote? Do we need that or does everything switch with the press of that button on the device?
I have a macbook so if my macbook is turned off, can we use the UGREEN switch to turn it on? or... do I have to open my Macbook to just to turn it on?
Nice tip! I got the same ugreen switch for this exact reason in early 2020 for the start of you know…. WFH..
Thank you for the video. Tremendous help.
Glad it helped!
Very very helpful with the two giant pcs my latest mental breakdown has produced.
glad I was able to help!
is there a way to keybind that button on the kmv device to one on your keyboard or mouse? I don't want to be reaching out to the kmv device everytime - would be nice if i could press, for example, one of the extra buttons on my gaming mouse or just a key on the keyboard
that would be awesome. I guess it needs some gaming hardware company to come up with a solid solution.
Did you ever try synergy? What was your opinion?
Question: If you have 2 monitor and 2 pc, can you like just hover the mouse over the next monitor to go to the other pc? Or that is not possible?
Man this has nothing to do with the keyboards but I have a Little groot just like that in my game room 🎉 Thanks for the vid , answers all my questions
if you just want to switch mouse and keyboard, get a KVM. it will switch the display as well. My 34inch ultrawide G34WQ has one built in. One usb c cable goes to the laptop and it passes through display, mouse and keyboard.mouse and keyboard plug into the monitor. So use it mostly for desktop but if i need to work, i plug in one usb C cable and can switch back and forth with one click each time. USB switches are more for hardware like audio interfaces etc. doesnt make sense to use it for two computers and have to also switch video when a KVM is designed for that
How is the video frequency on it? Does it allow right frequency like 144 or 240?
How about monitor? Do u use a switch for the display?
Question .. I have three laptop, one wireless keyboard and one wireless mouse , so can I connect two Bluetooth to this device along with 3 laptop ? Or do I need something else ?
I have a KVM switch in my gigabyte m27q monitor and it works.. but with flaws. My apex pro tkl keyboard works with one pc but not the other (reliably), and the second pc freaks out and disconnects the video signal a lot and wont swap over.
It could be some cables I’m using but still trying to iron out the bugs so I can save desktop space and have one monitor to use both computers and not have to buy a separate KVM switch
I have a wireless headset and i want to use it for both pc and ps5 do you think this would work if i bought the 3.0 version?
Thanks for sharing a very informative video. Q: Are you able to continue watching and listening to videos on Computer 1 when you click the Switch to access Computer 2? Or does Computer 1 temporarily go into the Sleep Mode when accessing Computer 2? Looking forward to hearing back from you.
I’m curious about your HDMI switcher. I normally play with DP and I’ve been looking for a DP KVM that supports 240 hz. Seems like there’s not something I can find that’s not like paying an arm and a leg. My question for you is do you notice latency when gaming or in your stream by using the HDMI as opposed to the DP version.
No. Modern HDMI is comparable to DP from a frame rate/latency/frequency perspective. If there is a latency, it's not noticeable, at least not in my experiences having recently swapped from a DP KVM to an HDMI KVM.
Thank you man you solved my issue that's been haunting me
It would have been better design if the switch had two buttons for two devices like the Logitech multi-device bluetooth keyboards do. I think it's more user friendly this way.
that would be cool!
Does it automatically switch to the second computer's display or would you have to manually change the input on the monitor? I noticed you used the remote to change your monitor's input before you hit the button on the KVM, hence, the question.
This is only a KM switch or a peripheral switch. if you need something that also switches your screens you need a "KVM" switch which includes video outputs
@@RAVisuals Is that what you used? Or did you use two devices (USB switch for peripherals and another device for screens)? What is the other device?
How do you connect two computers to the same monitor(s) though?
you can connect one by hdmi, other by display port and change input source in monitor settings
Bought the 3.0 device version for a discount on amazon, having difficulty switching from one computer to another in one monitor. I tried several attempts to unplug&connect device, but it continues to show one computer only. Upset with the device, your video makes it look easy-to-use
When switching between the two computers my microphone becomes static-y for a small period of time. makes it pretty awkward whenever I am trying to twitch scenes, manage alerts or type in chat.
Hey, I was jsut wondering if the sounds from a headphones can be connected to both. For example, if I connect the mic and headphones to my PC but the switch to mac, will the mac also have the mic and audio?
does it works with wireless keyboard and mouse?
Hi how did you connect 1 monitor to 2 pc. Can you make a video as well? Thank you
Are you able to do this if you’re using a pc and a console and switch between them?
Thanks, just wanted to clear one thing, if we allow remote access to someone by anydesk or teamviewer, so would he/she control both devices or just one where we install anydesk?
I believe you’d have to change control with this switch and then they’d be able to control that system. I don’t think people can change control remotely since this uses a button
wondering if this would work for a MacBook Pro with usb type c and a windows gaming pc. would you think an type c to type a cable would work?
Hi, I have 4laptops and 2monitors and looking for Switch between 4 laptops with keyboard and headphones. Can you suggest a product that suits my need
Is it possible with the hardware to use it simultanously? i mean while i am streaming on my gaming pc i maybe want to get over discord on my streaming pc and dont want to use another mouse keyboard. Also i dont want that my screen get black or something
does this support 4K@60hz output for both computers? It doesn't say that anywhere on specs or in your video.
@RA Visuals..I have a laptop running on 2 monitors using my dock station..If I buy this device can I do the same setup with the different laptop and this new device.
I wish they come with wireless output option. Or wireless remote switch so I attach that to the keyboard. Or option to dedicate a key on the keyboard for the switching such as Ctrl+Alt+1.
legend, thank you!
Would i be able to use this to connect my Logitec Wheel to pc and console?
Hello, can you also connect a ps4 and laptop and also switch between displays?
Could this be used to switch between console and pc? I like using m&k on console for games like dayz that support it. But don’t like having to plug out my m&k from my pc and plug it into my Xbox when I want to play. I’d like more of a seamless switch like this. Please lmk if that would work or if you could text that out I’d appreciate it 1000X over
I have the same switch. It's great and I can also recommend it.
My wireless apple keyboard isn't switching to my Dell on my Logitech mouse is. Any suggestions?
Only"
I just have to ask a silly question. I have been thinking of getting a switch. If I have work laptop A going with HDMI's out to my monitors and gaming desktop B that uses Direct Video to the monitors. I typically was switch the USB 2.0 adapter for my mouse and keyboard and hitting the monitor to change inputs. Would a switch do all of that for me and handle the monitors too?
question i am stuck what did you hook up to the monitor i did what youve done but im only being to use one computer.
