Um is there a type of USB hub which makes it so that I can plug my keyboard into it and use it with multiple devices so that I don't constantly have to unplug it?

Your question is unclear. State your situation exactly.

You mean hook up one device so that multiple systems can use it? I don;t know if those exists.



I think that might be possible using bluetooth receivers, if you have a bluetooth keyboard- you assign the keyboard to work on all of the devices that have bluetooth, I suppose that might work.



But I think keyboards were designed to work on one input at a time, so you can't type the same thing on several laptops at once.



I also heard of switchboard USB devices were you can hoop up a keyboard to a form of hub, and all you need to do was switch from input A through Z. Those are usually made for things like printers, I'm sure some random shops sell those types of peripherals.



Naturally such devices are rare since keyboards are generally used only for one computer at a time, and hardly circumstances exist where you had multiple devices that need input but only one keyboard. Be cool someday where keyboards can hook up to your router or something like a Wii remote.
