exactly what i needed, both my hubby and myself each have a laptop and pc but aren't techy, so thank you for showing everything!
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.
Thank you for the Video! Ordered the 2.0 with your link! Keep up the great work!
GREAT Video!!! Wasn't sure if I could even do something like this... so I did a search and your video came up... thank you for posting it 👍👍👍
Perfect answer to my question. Just purchased the 3.0 version through your link. Thank you.

Thank you! This is so helpful! Getting it now!
I watched your video a couple weeks ago and shut it to do that with mine. And it works great thank you very much for this excellent video,
Pretty simple and awesome little tool. I've ordered the 3.0 version of that box. Can wait to see how it works!
thanks for this. just received my new laptop so this is perfect timing :)
Thank you so much for this recommendation!! I was skeptical to try it at first because I wanted to try and have this work between my PC and Mac, but it worked like a charm!!
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...
Just what I needed thank you so much bro
Thank guy for a cheap and easy solution!
This is exactly what I need RN. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I knew there had to be a solution that cost less than $800. :) Ordered & awaiting delivery!!!
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!

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.
Awesome explanation, thank you
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.

Great video! Question: Is there any input using this switch instead of directly connecting the mouse and keyboard?
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.
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
Cheers bud! Great help!
Thank you for the recommendation. Would this also work just fine between a gaming PC and a work laptop?

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
Just got me this one! Im using it for my PC and my MacBook Air
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.
Nice tip! I got the same ugreen switch for this exact reason in early 2020 for the start of you know…. WFH..
Perfect tutorial. My question now is how can I essentially share 1 display port from my monitor to switch between my pc and my MacBook. I have a USB hub Caldigit TS3 Plus which has just one display port
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?
I have a pc for gaming and a Mac for everything else. This solved all the problems at my desk setup

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?
Bought the 3.0 device version for a discount on amazon, having difficulty switching from one computer to another in one monitor. I tried several attempts to unplug&connect device, but it continues to show one computer only. Upset with the device, your video makes it look easy-to-use

What about the remote? Do we need that or does everything switch with the press of that button on the device?
hi, can this usb switch support a keyboard with RGB backlit? We don't have power supply problem with it?
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.
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?
You are a life saver. Saved me time and money.
Thank you man you solved my issue that's been haunting me
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
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?
Was searching for a KVM switch. This looks good and practical. Went for the usb 3.0 tho, was only 10 euros more expensive. Hope it works well with my wireless peripherals.

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

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

Hey, I was jsut wondering if the sounds from a headphones can be connected to both. For example, if I connect the mic and headphones to my PC but the switch to mac, will the mac also have the mic and audio?
Did you ever try synergy? What was your opinion?
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.
I have a KVM switch in my gigabyte m27q monitor and it works.. but with flaws. My apex pro tkl keyboard works with one pc but not the other (reliably), and the second pc freaks out and disconnects the video signal a lot and wont swap over. It could be some cables I’m using but still trying to iron out the bugs so I can save desktop space and have one monitor to use both computers and not have to buy a separate KVM switch
Any way to integrate input switching to this? So you only click 1 button for both
how do you share the monitor between windows and mac? Thanks
does this support 4K@60hz output for both computers? It doesn't say that anywhere on specs or in your video.
How about monitor? Do u use a switch for the display?
I wish they come with wireless output option. Or wireless remote switch so I attach that to the keyboard. Or option to dedicate a key on the keyboard for the switching such as Ctrl+Alt+1.
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?
Hello, Is there a way where I can use one mouse to control two cursors/pointers on two different windows OS in sync/at the same time?
can I output the peripherals with a BT adapter so I can use a laptop without cables?
What if I use it when first pc is turned off and the 2nd is on? Will it work? Great video !
I just have to ask a silly question. I have been thinking of getting a switch. If I have work laptop A going with HDMI's out to my monitors and gaming desktop B that uses Direct Video to the monitors. I typically was switch the USB 2.0 adapter for my mouse and keyboard and hitting the monitor to change inputs. Would a switch do all of that for me and handle the monitors too?
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.
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.
Hello, can you also connect a ps4 and laptop and also switch between displays?
I have a question, Would it work for a Xbox One S and Pc? [Please and Thank you :-)....]
Great video! Thanks! In my case I've bought an MX keys from logitech and the M720 mouse also from logitech. With this setup I could switch between my notebooks easily. It's faster than your solution, but I needed something faster. If you use Windows on both computers or one Windows and one Mac, the best of all worlds is to use Logitech devices with the logitech options (flow) software. You can copy files between each other and use the mouse and keyboard without having to switch between them. If you use Linux, which is my case, there are tutorials that teach you how to do the same thing. Or if you want to spend money you can use Synergy, which is an internet solution that pairs two computers where one shares the mouse and keyboard as a server and the other as a client. With this in mind, the only thing I use today is a monitor switch because keyboard and mouse is solved.
Hi how did you connect 1 monitor to 2 pc. Can you make a video as well? Thank you
I have pc & laptop with 2 monitors and wireless keyboard, is usp switch working with them?
Hey if you only connect the output to only 1 device, ex (plugged PC, when the laptop is unplugged). Does it still work?
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 ?
Are you able to do this if you’re using a pc and a console and switch between them?
does this work for clamshelled macbook pro?
