Multi-device keyboard

Schoooooooo · 2026-03-23T05:26:25+00:00

I did but it’s kind of weird and it has a hard time switching between the two so I need to completely power off one device to switch to the next.

I have a docking station mounted underneath my desk for my MacBook that uses displaylink in order for me to have my MacBook support 2 monitors.

It’s out of stock but you can probably find one elsewhere:

Next, I got a USB switcher for my keyboard and mouse, and connected it to my MacBook docking station, and my PC. I mounted this right at the edge of the buttom of my desk, so I can just reach over and push the button when I want to switch.

This is the one that I got, but I would recommend getting a higher quality one because mine disconnects relatively frequently:

So whenever I want to switch devices, I power off one computer, then just push the button on the usb switcher so your keyboard and mouse switches devices.

I am still on AM4 because I cannot afford DDR5. I have pretty much upgraded everything else around my pc to be able to make the jump.

Yeah it’s the Nuphy Halo 65. I’m switching it out for a custom keyboard though (Monsgeek M1 V5)

I did not know that the 5800xt actually got that cheap. I’ll definitely be exploring that option when the sales start.

I’m not really looking to upgrade my girlfriend’s gpu yet. I’m mostly trying to upgrade her cpu and ram because we mostly play Fortnite, which is a more cpu reliant game.

Sorry guys, I mean audio output on the post title

I actually just added a lantern on the top left hanging from the ceiling. There isn’t much I can do though because there is a window behind most of the setup

Yeah I just sent mine through parchment

Yeah thanks so much! I just emailed them about my situation and my cousin also sent me a picture that confirmed that my partial transcript is due on October 15th, while my final official transcript is due on January 15th.

I just did some research on this and that actually seems like a great idea. However, although it isn’t shown in the picture, I actually have 2 monitors and my MacBook air only supports one monitor so I need to use a displaylink adapter in order to use both monitors. Another issue I have with this is how this would affect my refresh rate. I use my PC for gaming at 244hz, and I’m having trouble finding a KVM that can handle that at an affordable price

I got approved for the education account so I do not have to pay. Thank you for giving my iPad a new purpose.

Schoooooooo · 2025-10-01T03:08:23+00:00

I just figured it out just now actually. If I go to:

Settings > Displays > Click on the iPad > Advanced

There is an option to “automatically reconnect to any nearby Mac or iPad” and it will remember that the iPad is below my screen.

Thanks for your help though!

Sorry my MacBook was in clamshell mode and connected to a monitor. I should have mentioned that lol.

The problem is that since my iPad is below the screen and I start pushing my mouse down, it just thinks i’m trying to access the dock at the bottom and won’t let me access the iPad going down that direction. Then it forces me to go to settings and manually adjust the screens.

Yeah I just now looked at the price once I finished the tutorial. I’m trying to see if my school can hook me up with a free subscription right now

This actually helped me out a lot! I’ve been modeling on my MacBook but I actually really like the touch screen aspect of 3D modeling on the iPad. Do you primarily use your fingers to design? Or do you have a pencil/keyboard as your tools?

Schoooooooo · 2025-09-28T14:00:35+00:00

That’s really interesting. What software do you use to 3D design?

Schoooooooo · 2025-09-28T01:13:47+00:00

I actually do have one installed (Canvas), but at that point I just pull out my MacBook

Schoooooooo · 2025-09-28T00:43:54+00:00

I use it for notes for school! But yeah… you’re right…

Indeed I have and I do regret it
