How To Control 2 Computers With 1 Keyboard & Mouse! | Ugreen USB 2.0 Switch Setup & Review

[@nephew_tom]

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...

[@jayde_sloth_life8076]

I think he would unplug the mouse and keyboard from his first computer and plug it into this second computer.

[@hunter-in-the-shadows]

he changed the input on the monitor with the TV remote. what the device dose is remove the need to have to transfer the keyboard and mouse.

[@Mcannon1962]

Perfect answer to my question. Just purchased the 3.0 version through your link. Thank you.

[@stayhumble3245]

you could have tried mouse with borders from microsoft

[@OldManSolus]

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.

[@OzbuscusGames]

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

[@mr.indian4226]

Use mouse without borders

[@lingrush395]

I wish you showed how you connected the monitor?

[@truckngamer8897]

I think most Monitors come with multiple display imports. Mine has 1 Display port and 2 hdmi

[@G_RAThbun]

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.

[@2684dennis]

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)

[@squatch545]

How do you connect two computers to the same monitor(s) though?

[@Julia-go1tf]

you can connect one by hdmi, other by display port and change input source in monitor settings

[@tierneykj]

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?

[@uninterestingbagel2501]

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

[@calicojack4618]

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.

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

[@zidrag]

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.

[@fearthebeard6712]

Thank you for the Video! Ordered the 2.0 with your link! Keep up the great work!

[@xellaz]

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). 😁

[@RAVisuals]

Heck yeah! It makes productivity so much smoother

[@R.C_Ortiz]

Does your KVM switch support high refresh rates for your monitor?

[@xellaz]

@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).

[@ba6man-404]

Can I connect goxlr to this? And switch between gaming and streaming pc?

[@nathanshaw4189]

@@xellaz​Sounds 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. 🤓

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

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.

[@z4pyyy658]

So the KVM hub only supports up to 60hz? I game on 144hz tho

[@Toma-621]

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

[@lucaswade._]

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.

[@shi-woonyi2605]

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)

[@thereborne5219]

ive been looking for this, i own multiple servers and its ass to try snd replug my stuff everytime

[@irishRocker1]

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

[@Sworn973]

How is the video frequency on it? Does it allow right frequency like 144 or 240?

[@Neoshadow42]

A KVM, a good one that doesn't introduce latency into your setup, costs considerably more than a USB switch.

[@lennox469]

Can you use this switcher for xbox and PC

[@RAVisuals]

I believe so!

[@garywhite481]

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

[@ucanoe]

thx, but how did you get the 2 PCs to connect to the 1 monitor?

[@RAVisuals]

plug them both into the monitor via DP or HDMI and I just switch between them with a remote! It came with my monitor.

[@chuhayosorio4176]

Hi how did you connect 1 monitor to 2 pc. Can you make a video as well? Thank you

[@Paiixy]

Did you connect your monitor to it via usb? I notice only one monitor switches. Great vid!

[@donchooluvit3275]

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.

[@mr.wonderful4307]

This is a dumb question, BUT what happens if your keyboard and mouse are both using BLUETOOTH?

[@dfanman1]

I bought this switch and it works just like it does with you, thanks for the video it really helped me out.

[@ShivaEditz]

When you use this switch does your pc utilise the full 144hz refresh rates? or does it only goes upto 60hz refresh rates? Please answer me if you could I am thinkin of buying something similar.

[@AzadarieHussainya]

I'm actually concerned about if there will be any input delay for when I'm gaming on other pc(gaming pc)?

[@mjidkidspeeps8908]

Is there a switch for 2 monitors

[@ChrisJohnsonCJs-Kitchen]

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.

[@RAVisuals]

Hey Chris! If your surface has a usb connection on that docking station then this should work just fine!

[@ChrisJohnsonCJs-Kitchen]

@@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.

[@darlingdior]

does this work for clamshelled macbook pro?

[@Ald4r]

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.

[@yungsneezy20]

does this work with a tablet? (usb c to hdmi)

[@KP-xi4bj]

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.

[@RAVisuals]

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

[@MrJekkoh]

​@@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?

[@Acoustix77]

Does this setup need 2 pc's running at the same time? I suppose one pc is connected to the monitors.

that has nothing to do with USB , your monitor has several inputs. You can use each one to connect to a different device. for Example a Display Port to Gaming PC and a HDMI to Play Station. If your monitor does not have that or you want to use 1 Input of your monitor for more than 1 PC, you have to use a KVM Switch
