Hello. So I have this small project on mind but to complete it I need a way to use 2 PC with the same keyboard at the same time, I did some investigation and found something called a KVM switch but it’s not what I need cause it only allows to control one at a time and switch between them. I need something like if I type ABC on the keyboard, i get ABC typed down on both PC at the same time. Hope y’all can help me, It would be very appreciated.

so you aren’t talking two monitors, or Remote PC’ing like TeamViewer or LogMeIn, but 2 separate PC’s?
the data a keyboard sends, be it a USB or wireless or PS/2 unit, has to go to the serial bus on a PC, be it a USB or PS/2 port. you cannot send that traffic to two different PC at the same time.
even if you got two wireless keyboards of the same model and put their USB receivers into each PC, the keyboards would pair up using different channels otherwise every company office in the world would have workers complaining of rogue characters magically appearing on their documents.
not to mention the security flaw if you were able to type on the PC next to you. -
The OP has started and abandoned the same thread elsewhere so going to go ahead and close this thread being that Bruce has also provided an answer.Comment
