# Sharing an input device with a guest # Share an input device

{.is-warning}
There are multiple ways to share an input device with a virtual machine.
## Event device
Event device or simply `evdev` is a generic input event interface that is part of the Linux kernel.
The following is a XML snippet example for sharing a mouse and a keyboard.
``` ```

</input> </input>
``` ```
Replace the `platform-i8042-serio-1-event-mouse` value with the value under `/dev/input/by-path/*` or `/dev/input/by-id/*`
