Hey guys, right now I have a work laptop and my gaming PC at my desk and each have separate mouse and keyboard. Is there a gaming mouse and keyboard with wired and wireless functionality that I can connect wireless with the laptop and connect wired to the gaming PC and switch between them seamlessly by pressing a key on the mouse or keyboard etc?

I know there's software that can do it but my office laptop cannot install external programs.

TIA

Logitech mx anywhere 2(s) allows up to 3 profiles be it bluetooth or usb dongle connection. Can switch with a press of the button at the bottom of the mouse. Keyboard not sure

The word you're looking for is KVM switch, and it used to be possible with PS/2 and VGA connections. Now you want to do it with USB and HDMI? Hard.

Bluetooth keyboard/mouse with multi profile are your best bet as mentioned.

if your laptop has bluetooth, u can consider the Logitech G613 kb and G603 mouse

I have them connected via the usb wireless dongle to my gaming PC and bluetooth to my mac mini; switching between the mac and Pc is very seamless, just need to hit a button on the kb/mouse
