USB upstream and downstream

[JacTech17]

I just brought an Alienware AW2518HF 24.5" FreeSync Gaming Monitor and I connected my mouse and keyboard to it and then connected it upstream port to my PC but I have multiple devices and just want to use one keyboard and mouse does anyone know if there is a good USB upstream switch so I can connect to multiple devices.

I'm not sure what u are asking.

The monitor is in essence an USB hub and can be used for any USB device. If you would connect another hub to the monitor it would just work.

Though in that case you would loose some bandwidth.

I know the monitor acts as a hub but for one device that is connected by the USB upstream port which uses USB 3.0 b to USB a. I want a switch that can connect from USB 3.0 so I can alternate between devices like a raspberry pi or another pc. or at least find a USB 3.0 b male y splitter cable to female USB 3.0 b.

so I don't have to connect or disconnect another mouse or keyboard.
