    Hi ,

    I was wondering if i can split a keyboard between my Xbox one S and PC .

    They are both connected to the same monitor ( HDMI and VGA).

    is there a device that would connect to both and allow me to switch between them

    Thanks,

    :)

    If both your PC and Xbox use an HDMI, just get an HDMI switch box. Note though, if you have a 4K display, you'll need a switch box that fully supports HDMI 2.0 and HDR. Otherwise, any switch box that supports 1080P @60Hz will work fine.

    I've got five devices connected to my TV, but my TV only has 4 HDMI's. So I use a switcher for the Cable TV box and the Blu-ray player. Well, it saves me having to keep swapping the cables over.

    You used to be able to buy a KVM switch, that allowed a Keyboard and Mouse (also video, but you don't need that) to switch between multiple outputs for a single input.

    Do a quick search on your favourite online store for these.

    I currently use dual 27" gaming monitors, split between my PC and Xbox OneX…. though I wouldn't mind adding a 40" 4K tv to the mix lol.
