Yes it can. Just as you can have a wireless mouse and a corded mouse plugged in at the same time

Yes... this is frequently used for laptops and such... the computer just takes input from whatever device is sending it.

Only one of the 2 plug-ins will work at a time, that Is the problem I had with this and the whole reason I bought it- to use both plugs at same time. From what I understand- your question is wanting the same thing, if not- then please reword question, hopefully that helped!?

It is wired like a regular keyboard. It should work the same as when you plug it into a desktop. Just keep in mind that it is missing some of the keys you would expect in a traditional keyboard, which has its ups and downs (so having a laptop keyboard as a backup might be a nice option).

Not ignorant at all. Not only can you use a mouse with it but you can also use a bt keyboard at the same time- it will connect two devices simultaneously.

It is USB powered (No separate power supply). I'm not sure I fully understand the planned setup. It sounds like one KVM will have mouse, keyboard, and one monitor and the other will have the second monitor. If so, I can't say because I've no experience trying something like that. I'd suggest typing the question into a search engine (such as Google) to see if anyone else has discussed this arrangement. I use mine for USB mouse, keyboard, and speaker, and a DVI monitor. It works very well with my Win 7 and Win 8 PCs. Before acquiring the Win 8 PC, I had a Win XP computer attached to it. It worked much of the time, but sometimes the mouse would freeze when switching between the computers. Your experience might depend on the operating systems you are using.

This device has only USB out, requires two mice, some systems are not happy booting "blind" meaning you need to boot each machine with this turned to that machines PC. I am running two machines through one monitor, but if I had to do it again I would get one with more USBs so I can use Mouse and Keyboard with both, now I have to use two mice.

It can support more than 1 device at a time. It cannot support more than 1 connection with the same profile type. This means you can connect a keyboard, mouse, headset and whatever else as long as its not the same device type. 2 headsets will not work simultaneously nor will 2 mice as they use the same profiles for input/output. Hope that makes sense.

You can use a Bluetooth mouse at the sametime as the keyboard. I do it all the time. Just don't be surprised if the mouse icon jumps a little bit. Sometimes when the tablet is doing heavy processing the mouse will jump around if you are trying to move it. This happens with any mouse though (Bluetooth or USB alike).

I have used both wired and wireless devices with this switch, and I have not had any problems. Right now, I have a wired keyboard, and a wireless mouse (opposite of your intent), before that I had two wireless devices, but like I said, I've never experienced any issues.

no since it is pluged into the computer during use. you can use it with more than one computer but seperatly. it works great but only on one computer at a time.

You can use them at the same time. This keypad basically becomes part of the keyboard.

Yes, you can. However, sometimes usb plug-ins only work right if they are powered and this is a non-powered usb hub, so you can try it and see if it works. Otherwise, you will have to plug the keyboard directly into your laptop ubs port, and use the Hub for other things. Same goes with the mouse.Good luck,Johanan9

Yes. I currently use the wireless mouse. Be aware that there are only 2 standard USB ports and running both the mouse and keyboard at the same time may use both slots. Probably not an issue, but just pointing it out.

Obviously you cannot use a Human Interface Device on two computers simultaneously! The mouse performs great with my two laptops. I just hit the connect button on the bottom to switch back and forth between the laptops

This handles more than one device at the same time so I would guess yes. All though I have not tried that... and probably wouldn't since I use only wired keyboards. I have had my cell, speaker and mouse all connected at the same time.

It is supposed to allow you to use the mouse and speaker at the same time, but in my experience the speaker worked but the mouse never did. Suggest you try another brand because this device is not worth the money.

yes, you can actually have multiple USB keyboards and mice hooked up to the same computer and use them interchangeably.
