  • Patent number: 11334173
    Abstract: A peripheral devices switch, a peripheral device, and a keyboard configured to be connected to a plurality of host computers. The peripheral devices switch configured to be coupled to at least one set of peripheral devices and to a plurality of host computers. A color is assigned to each host computer and the at least one set of peripheral devices illuminates at least one polychromatic light source with the color that is assigned to an active host computer. A peripheral device interface to interface between the peripheral device and the peripheral devices switch may be a composite interface comprises two independent interface protocols either by sharing a single connector and cable but having separate pins in the connector and corresponding wires in the cable, or by having a separate cable and separate connector to each one of said interface protocol.
