This can be problematic because your display may only have one HDMI port, so switching from one device to another can be kind of of annoying. So what you need is an HDMI Switcher box, like the one I have here, the name is AV Access 4K HDMI KVM Switcher and just like the name says, it allows you to switch from one device to another by the push of a button. And not only that, if you’re using multiple computers or devices that use mouse and keyboard. This box will allow you to control 4 PC’s with one set of USB devices like a mouse, keyboard, USB Flash drive and any other USB 2.0 devices. And its compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux It supports a resolution of up to 4k at 60hz or 1080p at 120hz and it also supports microphone input and headphone output for audio. if you look at the back of the box there are 4 HDMI input ports (This is where we are going to connect our computers or media devices) and one HDMI output port. (that connect to our TV or monitor) There are 4 USB type B ports. (Here we are going to connect the USB cables that correspond to each HDMI port) this is for our mouse and keyboard and for a microphone and earphones. And finally the DC 12Volt port for power and IR Exit this is for the included IR extension, you can use this in case the remote doesn’t reach the box. And at the front of the box we have 4 buttons to switch between the devices that are connected. And we have 3 USB type A ports for our mouse and keyboard as well as a flash drive. And finally we have our mic in and line out ports for a microphone and earphones. If what you need is to connect one computer or one media device to multiple TV’s or monitors kind of like how they do it at walmart then this not going to work for you, what you would need is an HDMI splitter. I connected my gaming PC, the new macbook air with the M1 chip and my PS5 as well as the usb cable to each device. And at the front a mouse and keyboard. And the box is connected to my 65 inch 4k samsung TV I can control my windows 10 PC with the mouse and keyboard connected to the box. And with the remote I can switch to my PS5 and it does recognize the keyboard and now I’m going to switch to the macbook air and as you can see I’m moving the cursor using the same mouse.
