USB Switch - Share Keyboard & Mouse

SupraWez · 2 Jun 2017 at 02:22

Hey All,

Any recommendations for a USB switch?

I would like to switch my USB keyboard and mouse between machines, not concerned about switching video as well.

Do OCUK sell anything suitable as I havent found one on the site.

Thanks

I personally recommend the Aten US224 - I've found it has the best compatibility out of the cheaper devices for this (there are variants that can be connected to more than 2 machines as well).

Synergy does this not used it myself but seems to get good reviews and works on different OS's aswell

For anyone else looking the 5 port variant of the Aten is the US424, both get good reviews

Thanks, I have seen this and also checked some reviews, looks good but was looking for a hardware solution.
