2PCs with a single keyboard, mouse, I wish there’s something that works, I want to control 2 PC’s with one keyboard, no need to switch monitors I have a dedicated monitor for each PC (Windows 10, 11).
Any recommendations? I’ve already tried these options:
-
Bluetooth/Dongle
All of them have a rare error called “ghost/sticky keys” and is not a mechanical error, because when connected through USB it stops happening, the only keyboard that didn’t do that was the Logitech MX KEYS S but rubber-dome KB 😔 and I really don’t like it specially their bottom keys, I know that there is a Logitech MX MECHANICAL does anyone know how fast is while switching from Bluetooth devices?
-
MVK Switches/HUBs
Same “sticky keys” and it takes more than 2 seconds to switch between devices
I don’t like the idea of them sharing the devices through the same network LAN/VPN it defeats my purpose of using 2 PC’s it may work for people with two OS, but not for me, I want to use 2 different networks on each PC so they won’t able to see each other
-
Build one
I even tried making my own one by soldering 2 USB cables into a single keyboard with a switch to control to which PC should the data be send while typing the keys… but you needed a controller actively connected to the windows devices so… it didn’t work as planned
---------- new update ----------
I do NOT need/want a display port or any video switch (I use 2 monitors, one for each pc)
I use one of these to control 2 PCs and one laptop with a single keyboard and mouse. It could actually run a 4th machine off the same keyboard and mouse if I wanted to cram another into my workspace.
Sharing two 4k monitors between the three as well, though the screens have nothing to do with the switch controlling keyboard and mouse.
Used some double sided tape to attach the little controller switch to the top of the docking station connecting my laptop to the displays and network as it’s a light little thing that would fly all over the place otherwise. Been using the same one for over 2 years now and it’s been working great!
Tried some more expensive solutions in an attempt to tie my monitors and network together along with the kbm and everything I tried had some kind of unacceptable compromise, like bad video quality.
