U4919DW, wireless keyboard and mouse USB transmitter, on two PC?
I have two PCs connected to my U4919DW monitor. I have connected a USB downstream cable, from the monitor to each PC. I use a Logitech keyboard/mouse that utilizes a USB transmitter dongle. Can I share one dongle between the two PC, using the multi-device KVM in the monitor?
Thanks,
Steve

Yes, you can certainly share the Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse between your two connected PC. Just make sure that each of the PCs are connected to the monitor's USB upstream ports. And, the Logitech is connected to a USB downstream port.
To switch between PCs, use the monitor button 4 to select input source and use button 5 to launch the On-Screen Display menu (OSD)

Do I need the DDPM software on both PCs that would be connected to the monitor, in order to effectively use the KVM functionality?

No, for KVM functionality, switching between PCs, you won't need to run DDPM software.

Ok thats a good thing...
I have connected the upstream USB ports to my two PCs, which is 6-1 and 6-2 in the user's guide. I have connected my USB camera to 7-1 and I have connected my Logitech USB dongle to 7-3. Now the KVM section on the DDPM is greyed out. What the heck happened. I wanted to use the USB KVM functionality.

OK I figured it all out. It is very very confusing, bc the user guide talks one way of identifying the ports and the OSD talks a very different way. All good.
