If you're someone that needs to switch between displays as well, you'll need a KVM switch. I have one linked below for you!

I'm glad this video popped up first in my search. Got straight to the point and showed me exactly what I needed to know.
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...
I think he would unplug the mouse and keyboard from his first computer and plug it into this second computer.
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!
Hi how did you connect 1 monitor to 2 pc. Can you make a video as well? Thank you
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
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
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
Use mouse without borders
Thank you for the recommendation. Would this also work just fine between a gaming PC and a work laptop?
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.
does this cause any delay when gaming?
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
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?
A KVM, a good one that doesn't introduce latency into your setup, costs considerably more than a USB switch.
How about monitor? Do u use a switch for the display?
I'm actually concerned about if there will be any input delay for when I'm gaming on other pc(gaming pc)?
how do you share the monitor between windows and mac? Thanks
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
does this work for clamshelled macbook pro?
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 ?
Did you connect your monitor to it via usb? I notice only one monitor switches. Great vid!
I have a question, Would it work for a Xbox One S and Pc? [Please and 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.
Hi, just a question, does the PC recognize the switch drive or the keyboard and mouse?
Did you ever try synergy? What was your opinion?
Does it work if i have 2 Computer, a keyboard and mouse with 2 display?
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.
What I wonder is would this work between an iMac and PC?
How do you setup the pc so they can go off the same monitor?
I wish you showed how you connected the monitor?
I think most Monitors come with multiple display imports. Mine has 1 Display port and 2 hdmi
I was going to ask the very same question. I see you have already answered it. I will give that a try, thanks for your video.
this is about usb Peripherals, and not hdmi displays. so its probaly gonna be as easy as plug in the the usb-a from youre motherboard to the switch input, and than your peripherals in the switch output, that should work. and in some cases you need a extra usb-c power cable. (probaly when you use rgb keyboards that uses 2 cables ,1 for keyboard and 1 for rgb)

Hdmi
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?
Does this work fine with Steelseries mouse and keyboard, and also does it not have any problems with the steelseries app?
hi, can this usb switch support a keyboard with RGB backlit? We don't have power supply problem with it?
What about connecting the monitor as well?
Will this copy text over clipboard?
Does this work if you use two monitors?
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?
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
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
Sadly, anyone with a Razer Keyboard using this device, you will run into issues. I work from home on a laptop, and have my personal pc in there too. switching back and forth causes an issue with Razer synapse where the keybaord will begin "sticking/spamming" keys, forgetting macros exist, locking up for 5-10 seconds. Razer's response, don't use a KVM.
thx, but how did you get the 2 PCs to connect to the 1 monitor?
plug them both into the monitor via DP or HDMI and I just switch between them with a remote! It came with my monitor.
Hello, can you also connect a ps4 and laptop and also switch between displays?
What about monitors? Is there a way to get a PC and laptop to share monitors and switch between them too?
This is awesome... My husband and I share an office setup and we have been able to have the monitors connected to both my docking stations and just select which device on the monitor when we are using it... However, for our mouse/keyboard, we were always moving the dongle from docking station and this will solve this problem! thank you!. Question for you, is there a switch that we should be using to also connect the monitor so that we will change the full set up (monitor/keyboard & mouse) all with 1 thing?
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. 🤓
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?
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?
What about the remote? Do we need that or does everything switch with the press of that button on the device?
thanks a lot of help to the point not a lot of waisted talk Older people need help in simple words you saved me thanks
Does this setup need 2 pc's running at the same time? I suppose one pc is connected to the monitors.
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.
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?
So the switch can transfer signals from a keyboard and a mouse through just on usb cable? Can it send signals from both devices at a time? Suppose I'm using mouse and at same time I'm using keyboard. Would it work? In gaming scenarios?
Hi, on the video you showed how to plug in the two USB cables, but you pluged in another small device ...what is that ?? thanks
its the mouse, it's just wireless so it uses reciever
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.
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.
can I output the peripherals with a BT adapter so I can use a laptop without cables?
How did you set up the two computers on one monitor? ?
ive been looking for this, i own multiple servers and its ass to try snd replug my stuff everytime
Are you able to do this if you’re using a pc and a console and switch between them?
will it work with 1PC + 1PS5 to USB desktop speaker?
This is a dumb question, BUT what happens if your keyboard and mouse are both using BLUETOOTH?
Bought the switch however the 5v wire that's inbeded in any USB cable causes an overcharge between the 2 computers. Meaning that, if you have one device on, and once device off, there's a current leak going from the PC that is on, towards the PC that is off, it's missing some diodes. The only way to avoid this overcharge is to DIY 2 USB cables where you snip the 5v red wire off. And power the switch through a universal phone charger.
Would not recommend using it with the cables as is. Because if there's irregularities on the circuit, they transfer to the "turned off" machine as well.
This switch it possible use with sound card like Komplete audio 1 or Scarlett Focusrite?
Don't use interfaces off hubs
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 if your monitor has extra ports? Does that work?
Great video! Question: Is there any input using this switch instead of directly connecting the mouse and keyboard?
How would you connect another monitor?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing you're just using one mouse and one keyboard with two computers. What are you doing to split the video of each computer to go to one monitor?
Would i be able to use this to connect my Logitec Wheel to pc and console?
Nice video and very helpful ...would I be able to connect my USB wireless headset to the USB switch so I can hear audio from both pcs ?
So the KVM hub only supports up to 60hz? I game on 144hz tho
Would This Come at a performace Cost ?
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?
Can u use that on a xbox one or series s 6 months later no one replied dawg!!!
Thank you for the Video! Ordered the 2.0 with your link! Keep up the great work!
So, if I understand this correctly... with the KVM switch on AMAZON, it can be setup to switch one Keyboard, one Mouse
- between 2 computers using 1 display... (the only configuration possible with the switch box)
- OR between 2 computers with each its own display... that way the screen on computer 2 can be up and displaying while computer 1 is the one being controlled by the Keyboard and the mouse
@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.
Hi, can this work with a laptop and Xbox setup?
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?
when switching does the pc working like a new usb is connecting or the keyboard/mouse are wotking instantly (like nevere disconnected) ?
Can you suggest what I’d need to connect two computers to a two-monitor setup?
I use a similar setup as that and just need the switch I used in the video to switch my keyboard and mouse. I use a remote to switch between my monitors. YOu maty need a "KVM" switch for your use though
What did you use to switch your display to another pc?
I have a remote control that switches the input of my main monitor. I don't use a KVM switch.
Can i use this method for a console and a laptop?
Now if you could also swtich the input on your monitor at the same time
I have a laptop and a ps4, can it be connected to the same monitor and mouse and keyboard ? Without unplugging the mouse and keyboard to connected it to my ps4 ?
Idk if i explained it clearly but it someone understood please solve my problem.
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.
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?
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.
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.
would this work with a pc and a ps5?
I have pc & laptop with 2 monitors and wireless keyboard, is usp switch working with them?
Just install barrier on both computers. It’s free. No button clicking required. Your cursor will slide from one OS screen to another OS screen
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.
Would it work with a laptop and an Xbox?
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.
It works with pc And Console
Or 2 consoles ? Thx
How do I get the computer to wake up from sleep using a mouse with kvm like that? I have a ugreen kvm switch but when I switch to one of the computers, I try to move the mouse it doesn't wake up at all
So if I want to download huge file to my sad from secodn PC but switch to use first Pc will if be still downloading from second Pc
what if you are using two monitors and 1 pc connected to Monitor 1 while PC #2 connected to 2nd monitor?
Please show where did you connect on your desktop ...desktop does not have usb type c ..only female USB 3.0
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.
