A computer-implemented method dynamically updates an input channel on a peripheral device. The method includes identifying two or more computing devices including a first computing device and a second computing device, where each of the two or more computing devices is capable of interacting with a first peripheral device. The method further includes connecting the first peripheral device to each of the two or more devices, where the first peripheral device is active with a first computing device of the two or more computing devices. The method also includes determining a status change of the first peripheral device. The method includes toggling, in response to the status change, a data exchange such that the first peripheral device is active with the second device and not active with the first device.
