Hi!

 

I am looking for something like this product

https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Support-Wireless-Control-Blu-ray-Black/dp/B00MWRZFP4/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1529357821&sr=8-24&keywords=USB+splitter+switch

 

But instead of HDMI it's USB so I can have a mice and keyboard plugged in to it that goes to computer, And then I can simply with a press of a button (Doesn't need to be on a remote) switch so the inputs goes from my computer to my other device.

 

I tried to find something but can't, Anyone have any idea?

Is this the sort of thing you're after?

This is what I use to switch between my desktop and laptop at work.  Works like a KVM switch without video.

The device you're looking for is a KVM or KM switch.

are you trying to connect your mouse and keyboard to multiple devices, like a 2 pcs controlled by the same mouse and keyboard?  I am a little confused about what your asking for. 

 

Sorry for being missunderstanding! 

 

I have 

 

Keyboard + Mouse.

 

I want to connect both of these to 2 different computers at the same time so I don't need to replug the cables everytime, But I don't want them to be active at the same time so there should be a switch that let's me decide if I want the Keyboard & Mouse to work on PC 1 or PC 2.

 

So I guess

 

"2 USB Inputs, 2 USB Outputs" (K&M in and 2 USB out to 2 different machines?)

That's exactly what I use the device I listed for.  It has a single input but you can use a USB hub to add more ports, I switch my keyboard, mouse, headset, and flash drives between two PCs with the push of a button.
