Why each option
A KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch allows multiple computers to share a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse, enabling a user to control multiple PCs from one set of peripherals.
A router directs network traffic between devices and networks but does not share or switch display output between multiple computers.
A bridge connects two network segments at the data link layer and has no capability to share or switch video output between PCs.
A KVM switch acts as a hardware multiplexer that routes video signal, keyboard input, and mouse input from multiple connected PCs to a single shared display and input device set. Switching between systems is typically done via a button or hotkey sequence. This makes it the only device in the list designed specifically to share a common display across multiple PCs.
A wireless keyboard is a single input device that connects to one computer at a time and cannot share a display across multiple PCs.
