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 and random error called “ghost sticky keys” is not a regular sticky key because when connected through USB it stops happening, the only keyboard that didn’t do that was the Logitech MX KEYS S but it’s not mechanical 😔 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?

Same thing they also have random “ghost sticky keys” and it takes more than 2 seconds every time that you 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

    Do you really need video?

    My monitors have multiple inputs, so I just use a USB switch for my mouse and keyboard, and then switch the monitors between devices as needed.
