Connecting my headset to two computers

[RoyalBishop]

Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a Siberia 800 to have the ability while I'm working to switch batteries on the fly. The issue I'm having is that I came from a single USB stick receiving on my old headset which allowed me to easily move it to my gaming computer when I wasn't working. Since the Siberia's have a clunky but OK receiver, its a USB cord that is not easily accessible as the old USB stick on my old headset. I'm asking the community if anyone knows of a way or product I can use that would allow me to simple switch between each computer quickly with my headset. Any ideas?

I was thinking a USB KVM minus the V but wasn't sure if that would work. Thank you!

How about a simple A-B audio box?

Hey CorkyG, Not sure what that is but I actually ended up buying a simple USB split er with one USB input and of course a hard switch to go back and forth between my two computers. Works well but seems still like a patch. Thanks!!

Try Belkin 3 port headset switch, it allows you to easily switch one headset between PC, office phone and mobile devices (not sure about switching it between PC to PC, however it seems possible with it.

If your headset is USB then it's just another USB device. A simple USB "switch" should be able to "switch" between the computers any USB device is connected to. Is that what you're asking about?

This is literally what mixers are for.

But yeah, an USB a-b switch is your best cheap option.
