Configuring Two PC with Single Input Device

Controlling two computers with a single keyboard and mouse can be done in two ways.

Way No 1.

 

If the two computers are directly connected to the same network, you can use a software application programs to control the two computers with single keyboard and mouse.

There are a lot of software application programs which can be used to set up your two computers with asingle mouse and a keyboard. Most users used the Synergy or Input director software program.

You can download the Synergy software on https://symless.com/synergy

You can download the InputDirector software on http://www.inputdirector.com/downloads.html

Way No 2.

Otherwise, If the two computers aren't connected to a network, you can use a hardware unit that will lets you use a single mouse and a keyboard for both computers.

The most popular hardware unit  that can be used to setup this kind of system is the KVM switch ( keyboard, video, or visual display unit, mouse).
