Can I control 3 computers with 1 keyboard?

Is it popssible to have 3 computers controlled by 1 keyboard? I want to be able to push 1 button and it do the same function on all 3 computers. Not sure if a USB hub would work in this situation.
 
you can use VNC or the like to control all three at the same time across a network. VNC has builds for just about every OS available.
 
If you're planning on typing text and want it to simultaneously show up on all three...no

if you want to "control" three computers and switch between them, yes.

If you haxe XP its built in with remote desktop...
 
Same keyprees on all three computers simultaneously? Don't think there's software.

Like NokaiDude said, why do you wanna do this? 😕
 
Its actually for game use. I play 3 characters in an online game and need them all to do the same function at the same time.
 
No luck. You can even use remote desktop to play them because the rendering wont be seen across the display. You'd be better off setting up two pc's next to eachother and swapping...ugg
 
You need some sort of usb data splitter... I guess splicing the data lines to 3 comps and the power to just 1 wouldn't work though...
 
You may be able to get or make a cable that splits your keyboard and mouse inputs, so in theory they could do the exact same thing. Would probably take some experimenation tho.
