Question multi-device gaming keyboard and mouse

[warlockrey]

hello all , i am looking for a good way to use my keyboard (K95 RGB Platinum) and mouse (razer deathadder) in a multi-device setup, i currently have my main desktop-PC, laptop and nvidia shield all on the same desk and i would like to use only one keyboard and mouse to control the 3 devices if possible. i am looking for a solution that wont affect too much the latency of my peripherals so i can play my games. thank you in advance for your answers.

You need what is referred to as a KVM switch.

Keyboard, Video, Mouse.

Just google "KVM".

Then look for product that matches the connection ports being used. I.e., USB, PS2, HDMI, etc..

Remember you will need to switch between devices.

And a bunch of cables...….

Thanks for the reply, is there a KVM in particular that is better with the input lag? Or are they all the same with the latency?

As with any product the quality is important.

I have never had to deal with latency as a specification with respect to any given KVM switch.

I will defer to the following reviews and to others who wish to comment:

The gaming community may have other thoughts and ideas on the matter.

Hopefully someone will post accordingly.

I have no problem with that.
