Thank you for the Video! Ordered the 2.0 with your link! Keep up the great work!
Perfect answer to my question. Just purchased the 3.0 version through your link. Thank you.
you could have tried mouse with borders from microsoft
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 👍👍👍
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.
Pretty simple and awesome little tool. I've ordered the 3.0 version of that box. Can wait to see how it works!
I bought this switch and it works just like it does with you, thanks for the video it really helped me out.
Thank you! This is so helpful! Getting it now!
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!
Thank you. I knew there had to be a solution that cost less than $800. :) Ordered & awaiting delivery!!!
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.
Hey Chris! If your surface has a usb connection on that docking station then this should work just fine!
@@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.
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...
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!!
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,
Nice video, thanks. was looking at KVM switches but they seem a bit too complicated (especially the display part) and also expensive. this is much more down to my level lol
Thank you so much for this video! I was looking for something like this. Appreciate you sharing this knowledge. 5/5!
You are so welcome! Thank you for the kind words!
Thank guy for a cheap and easy solution!
Hey thanks for the vid really usefull. Do you think that using it can create some sort of delayed in your mouse or keybor if ne of this computers is being use for gaming?
Yep. REALLY helpful. Liked & subscribed.
Thank you for the recommendation. Would this also work just fine between a gaming PC and a work laptop?
Just what I needed thank you so much bro
Awesome explanation, thank you
Hey thanks for this. I wanted to get the 2.0 version but wasn't sure if it would work well. Now I know. 😎
No worries, Paul! Hope it works great for your setup 🤘🏼
Thank you so very much for this. ❤
Great video! Question: Is there any input using this switch instead of directly connecting the mouse and keyboard?
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.
This is exactly what I need RN. Thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I'm ordering one today!
does this work with a tablet? (usb c to hdmi)
I wasn't looking at the screen and heard that static noise at 4:04 and thought my computer freaked out lmao
thank you for this information, i didn't know the micro usb port in the back was for extra juice!
Cheers bud!
Great help!
Thanks man, that's exactly what I needed 👍
Brilliant thank you, ordered the 3.0 version,
thx u sir! great content!
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 just what I needed. Thanks!
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
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.
Thank you for the video. Tremendous help.
Glad it helped!
Any way to integrate input switching to this? So you only click 1 button for both
Thank you! Do you think it will cause any delay in performance if I use razer hyperspeed dongle for my wireless mouse and headset?
when switching does the pc working like a new usb is connecting or the keyboard/mouse are wotking instantly (like nevere disconnected) ?
wondering if this would work for a MacBook Pro with usb type c and a windows gaming pc. would you think an type c to type a cable would work?
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'm actually concerned about if there will be any input delay for when I'm gaming on other pc(gaming pc)?
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
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?
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?
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.
Nice tip! I got the same ugreen switch for this exact reason in early 2020 for the start of you know…. WFH..
What about the remote? Do we need that or does everything switch with the press of that button on the device?
Does this work fine with Steelseries mouse and keyboard, and also does it not have any problems with the steelseries app?
does this support 4K@60hz output for both computers? It doesn't say that anywhere on specs or in your video.
I wish you showed how you connected the monitor?
I think most Monitors come with multiple display imports. Mine has 1 Display port and 2 hdmi
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.
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)

Hdmi
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?
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.
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
How about monitor? Do u use a switch for the display?
Hey if you only connect the output to only 1 device, ex (plugged PC, when the laptop is unplugged). Does it still work?
Would i be able to use this to connect my Logitec Wheel to pc and console?
Hi how did you connect 1 monitor to 2 pc. Can you make a video as well? Thank you
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
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?
hi, can this usb switch support a keyboard with RGB backlit? We don't have power supply problem with it?
Thanks from Germany, that is the Shit in need to switch between my WIN11 and WIN XP PC. The Last one to play old Games =)
Hello, can you also connect a ps4 and laptop and also switch between displays?
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 ?
can I output the peripherals with a BT adapter so I can use a laptop without cables?
how do you share the monitor between windows and mac? Thanks
Thanks for the video, really got tired of switching manually between my personal PC and work PC
no problem!
@RA Visuals..I have a laptop running on 2 monitors using my dock station..If I buy this device can I do the same setup with the different laptop and this new device.
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.
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?
Does anyone know if this works with USB powered speakers?
Are you able to do this if you’re using a pc and a console and switch between them?
Yes, this did help my problem for I have two computers, unlimited disk space thank you
Question: If you have 2 monitor and 2 pc, can you like just hover the mouse over the next monitor to go to the other pc? Or that is not possible?
I have pc & laptop with 2 monitors and wireless keyboard, is usp switch working with them?
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.
How do you setup the pc so they can go off the same monitor?
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.
does this work for clamshelled macbook pro?
This switch it possible use with sound card like Komplete audio 1 or Scarlett Focusrite?
Don't use interfaces off hubs
How did you set up the two computers on one monitor? ?
Hi, I have 4laptops and 2monitors and looking for Switch between 4 laptops with keyboard and headphones. Can you suggest a product that suits my need
does this cause any delay when gaming?
does this work the same between xbox series s and a computer? cheers!
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?
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 ?
I have a pc for gaming and a Mac for everything else. This solved all the problems at my desk setup
So it works for Mac and pc?
@@mezmur_tube12 well I have the usb 3.0 version but yes, it works with mac and pc
legend, thank you!
Does it also work between a PC and a Mac?
I've had nothing but trouble getting these kinds of switchboxes working. I've tried two different brands, and the cheaper one (similar to the Ugreen) the mouse/keyboard CONSTANTLY drops out. It doesn't even work as a hub (connected to one computer). I also tried an AIMOS and it also has stuck keys / mouse dropout. I can connect the mouse and/or keyboard directly to the same USB port(s) and they work perfectly fine.
Are there any out there that, you know, actually work?
So if I want to download huge file to my sad from secodn PC but switch to use first Pc will if be still downloading from second Pc
You are a life saver. Saved me time and money.
Did you connect your monitor to it via usb? I notice only one monitor switches. Great vid!
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?
Wondering if it works on the all in one pc
Could this be used to switch between console and pc? I like using m&k on console for games like dayz that support it. But don’t like having to plug out my m&k from my pc and plug it into my Xbox when I want to play. I’d like more of a seamless switch like this. Please lmk if that would work or if you could text that out I’d appreciate it 1000X over
Is it possible with the hardware to use it simultanously? i mean while i am streaming on my gaming pc i maybe want to get over discord on my streaming pc and dont want to use another mouse keyboard. Also i dont want that my screen get black or something
Did you ever try synergy? What was your opinion?
