Here is my situation: I bought a Bluetooth keyboard, and I can't use it to enter BIOS. And I don't have a wired keyboard, and I don't want to buy another one, but I have a laptop.


Can I use a USB male-male cable and make my laptop as a USB Keyboard for the Desktop?

I've seen the case you can use the laptop keyboard as wireless desktop keyboard, but that't not the case because I need a wired one to enter the BIOS!

No, you cannot use male-male cables. To my knowledge, there are very few ways to do this and none of them are very comfortable to use.

There are some Softwares like TeamViewer, VNC and many others that allow you to control another computer remotely or allow you to use one mouse and one keyboard one more than one computer.

Another way is the use Bluetooth or a micro-controller, but certain conditions need to be met. You can look into this, but I heard you will experience input lag.

I would really suggest buying a keyboard.
