    Hi, looking for recommendations if anyone has bought a keyboard/mouse set that can connect to 2 laptops and allows you to switch between them with a button.

    Ideally looking for wireless and rechargeable.

    I can see plenty on Amazon etc but would like to hear feedback on specific models

    I love my Logitech K780 and also have a Logitech MX Mouse. They both work off the same dongle so you only need to use one port on each laptop. Wireless. Mouse rechargable, keyboard takes batteries but I just had to check because I haven't changed them in months.

    It can connect to 3 different machines and one of them can also be bluetooth.

    A little more than I’d like to spend but maybe I’ll treat myself if nothing else comes up! Thanks

    I have a logitech mx keys and it does the same thing, so I have a dongle connected to both my work and personal laptops and just need to tap a profile key on keyboard to switch between the 2 laptops. I use an MX Master mouse which has the same, but I don't switch that because I have a second mouse on desk. The newer logitech mouses have a thing called Flow that will allow you to use the same mouse on 2 devices without switching, you just move the mouse to the edge of the screen and keep going and it'll take over on the other device.

    If you're looking for a rechargeable combination, then the MX Keys & mouse (either MX Master or MX Anywhere) are hard to beat. If you don't mind changing batteries once in a blue moon, the K780 keyboard and M720 Triathlon mouse from Logitech are also very much an option. I use both, the MX Keys Mini & MX Master 3S on the go & in the office, and the K78 & M720 at home, and both work like a dream, and the battery life for all can be measured in months. If it's okay with the mods, I wrote a blog post about the latter two when I got them during the great plague of 2020:

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!
