hello...

I know this might seem a bit basic, but this is my first experience using 2 machines. My audio workstation caught a pretty bad back-door virus...had to restore to factory issue...had to get a 2nd box just for the internet...long story...back up & running now.

Anyway...I get tired of exchanging keyboards & mice when I quick-switch between PCs; & was wondering: how does one utilize just one set of these peripherals w/ both machines?

Is this what a USB hub is all about...will that work?

Thanks much,
