    USB Keyboard/Mouse Switch


    I want to share/switch a USB keyboard & mouse with two computers. Can anyone suggest a single device to accomplish this?

    In fact, my work area has an Ethernet switch and HDMI switch. Any suggestions on minimizing/consolidating any of these devices are welcome. Thanks.

    See if a local store or your favorite online store has a KVM switch.

    I'm not sure what to suggest for the Ethernet and HDMI switch.
