Electronically, if you hook up one mouse to two different USB ports just by copying the USB cable, how do you make sure you don't have the PC USB ports connected with each other instead? Like PC-mouse-PC results in PC-PC because the same solder islands are used. What you are searching for is a device which reads the data and copies it via an IC. Might be possible to build by hand, but requires some search for the right components. Maybe by using octo couplers. |
such a device should exist somewhere, the request is not "out of this world" |
It'll be very hard to find something like this because there hardly is any market for this (maybe there is, but it's not demanding this yet). USB hub thingy sounds impossible because no resources are shared between the different A-ports (only between the A-ports and the B-port that connects to your pc). What you might consider is taking 2 mice and keyboards and combine them into a single device, won't be easy tough because of timing problems and collisions. |
other solution I've read is using wireless keyboard/mice and syncing them with two receivers to each PC at the same channel. |
Just out of curiosity ... why ? :-p |
Because he's MAD |D |

Keyboard multiplexer http://www.vetra.com/844Utext.html for USB keyboards; I've asked them if it works with 2xPS/2->USB Y-splitter to make it do its thing for both mouse and keyboard. That would be the ideal solution. cheaper solution is buying 2x wireless keyboard/mouse and syncing the two receivers with one set of keyb/mouse http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/in...ad&threadID=12 |
alrighty! ordered one PS/2 1 keyboard -> 4 multiplexer with 2xcables. Total cost with shipping ($129 Fedex) is $338. This device is unique in the world, I've not found any other product which offers this functionality. For mouse control I tested with 2x receivers and 1 mouse and this seems to work:) |
