[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1924735, member: 38864"] I don't see how that cable will allow two different computers to be controlled by a single mouse and keyboard. It appears to be intended for connecting two computers together. It has USB-A on each end. How would you plug that into a keyboard and mouse???? What you need is something called a KVM switch. You plug your keyboard and mouse into the switch; the switch then has USB cables going out to a pair of computers. There is a toggle button on the box that will toggle between the computers. Another option is to get a keyboard and mouse that can pair to multiple computers. I have a Logitech MX Master keyboard and mouse that do this. They each have a switch to change between devices. Think of it as a built-in KVM switch. [/QUOTE]
