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 a Level1Techs KVM, I’m pretty sure it meets all your requirements. I’ve used multiple brands of mechanical keyboards with it and never had a ghosting/sticky key issue.
If you’re just using a mouse and keyboard, how fast does the level 1 techs KVM switch?
It’s pretty instant. I have all my monitors running through it, but I can test when I get off work tomorrow.
