MAKCU
A mouse passthrough at 1000 Hz that takes commands from your second computer.
Four parts chosen together take 15% off all four. This one can start it.
What this is
MAKCU sits between your mouse and your two computers, and at $25 it is the cheapest part of a full setup. Your mouse plugs into it, it plugs into both computers, and your main PC just sees a normal mouse.
What it does
- Three ports on the front edge.
Hold MAKCU with the three ports pointing towards you. Your left goes to your main PC, the middle to your second computer, and your mouse plugs into the one on your right. - Passes your mouse straight through.
Your mouse movement goes through untouched. - Takes commands from your second computer.
A third cable runs to the second computer, which opens a serial port and sends MAKCU commands. Those commands and your mouse movement go out together. - Arrives pre-flashed.
v3 full passthrough firmware is on it, so there is nothing to flash until v4 is released.
Good to know
- 1000 Hz, and no faster.
No firmware can change that. For 8000 Hz you want FERRUM. - Software isn't included.
We don't sell software. You get it yourself, and it runs on your second computer. Which DMA software to get has what we suggest. - Keyboards work too.
makcu.com says MAKCU supports keyboards as well as mice. Its information page lists firmware 3.9 for keyboards. Don't update it yourself: ask in a ticket first. - Wireless works too.
A wireless mouse or keyboard works through its own USB receiver. Bluetooth does not go through it. - The aim device we recommend.
It does the same job as FERRUM for a lot less. FERRUM's one edge is 8000 Hz. MAKCU vs FERRUM says why. - Tested before it ships.
Every unit is tested. Free tracked shipping and three months of warranty. - Full setup.
MAKCU setup goes through the wiring, the driver and the speed, and how to flash v4 once it's released.
Paying
- Crypto only. Never sent it before? How to pay with crypto shows you how. About ten minutes the first time.
- Crypto payments are final. Unlike a card, a crypto payment cannot be charged back, and crypto sent to the wrong address or network is gone for good. There are no returns on hardware, and the warranty covers faults. Check our terms before you pay.
1x MAKCU board
2 USB-A to USB-A cables, one for each computer
A 3D printed case, with buttons that press MAKCU's buttons
Our boxes come with everything you need. Once you have ordered, support is a ticket in our Discord.
We recommend MAKCU. FERRUM is only worth it for an 8000 Hz mouse, or to replace a KMBox B+ Pro. Why we recommend MAKCU goes through it. Still not sure? Ask on the forum, where the answer helps the next person too, or in our Discord.

Questions
MAKCU. It does the same job for a lot less, and FERRUM's one edge is 8000 Hz, which only counts with an 8000 Hz mouse. MAKCU vs FERRUM says why we recommend MAKCU.
MAKCU: yes. makcu.com says MAKCU supports keyboards as well as mice (setup guide). Its information page lists firmware 3.9 for keyboards. Don't update it yourself: ask in a ticket first.
Yes, if it has its own USB receiver. Plug the receiver in where the mouse would go. Bluetooth doesn't work, because a Bluetooth mouse talks to your PC directly and never goes through the device.
Yes. Our case has buttons that press MAKCU's buttons, so you never have to take it out. You use them to flash new firmware, or to switch the serial link to 4 Mbps (makcu.com says to press the left one four times fast).
Both go on your second computer.
MAKCU: the CH343 driver. MAKCU's setup page explains it and links the download. Firmware updates are on makcu.com in Chrome or Edge, and the files are on GitHub.
Put the main PC cable in a port on the back of your motherboard first. Front and top ports can work, but they go through a cable inside the case and can cause dropouts, so use a rear port. Most mice work, wired or wireless with their own USB receiver, but not every one, and Bluetooth does not go through. Check the COM port number and baud rate match what your software expects. Still nothing? Open a ticket in Discord with your motherboard and mouse model. If the unit is faulty, the three months of warranty cover it.
Three months on all of our hardware. Everything is tested before it ships. If a card, fuser or aim device does arrive faulty or develops a hardware fault in that time, show us proof and we replace it. Open a ticket in our Discord. It covers the hardware, not software that will not talk to it, but open a ticket for that too and we will help.
We ship anywhere, free and tracked. Parcels ship in 1–2 days, not counting Sundays, then take 7 to 10 working days, or 3 to 5 with $30 express, for delivery. Customs and import fees are down to your own country, so if they are charged, they are yours to pay. If customs sends a parcel back, we reship it by express at no cost.
