[Wireless - Multi device] Mouse + Keyboard

Azurek · April 4, 2021

Hi Everyone,

I have been working from home since the beginning of the pandemic, and have been working with my work laptop + my own desktop. Unfortunately, I have been using 2 sets of mice and keyboards so that I do not have to plug/unplug cables all of the time. I am now working on cleaning up my desk + all of the cable clutter, and so, the move towards a wireless setup. I am hoping to get some advice for a keyboard and mouse that works easily on 2 devices at the same time (simple switch via a button click). Thus far I found 2 options, please let me know if you know more affordable options:

Belgium --

Keyboard: Logitech K380

Mouse: Logitech G Pro wireless (or lightspeed whichever)

Consideration:

Keyboard: Keychron K8 (but its completely out of stock in EU), I also thought about building my own keyboard but building a wireless one seems like an unnecessary headache.

Mouse: Logitech G305, G603, Only issue with both those mice is that they do not charge over USB and require battery replacement --> No go

Mouse: Glorious Model O Wireless. Not sure it can switch between devices, and I am currently using the wired version and after 1 year of usage the clicks now feel like I am clicking on a really cheap piece of plastic...

Thank you in advance for your recommendations!

Sounds to me like you just need to get a KVM for your keyboard and mouse.

Here is one on Amazon.

I have not personally used this, so I can't personally attest to how well it works. Just that one of the YouTubers I watch uses it.

I just checked it out, and at first I was super excited about it. But after reading comments online about several of these devices, apparently you lose connection to your devices sometimes (for a minute or two). I will look more into it and try to find a reliable one. In the meantime, I would still like some alternatives if anyone has some to propose
