I am looking to put my xbox on my desk and would like to play some games (that allow this) with KB and mouse, and I was wondering if a device that would allow me to plug my KB/Mouse into a hub, then the hub is connected to the pc and the xbox, and would allow me to switch between controlling the two devices without the need to keep plugging in and unplugging them?

Does such a device exist and is it easy to get or am I just imagining this exists? 😅

A KVM switch might do what you need

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

USB switches exist for just this sort of thing, Here's a decent USB 2 switch. You can also find USB 3 models if you need that.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At me or quote me, I want to hear your opinion.

 

Hopefully anything I say is factually correct. Sorry for any mistakes in advanced.
