KVM switches
Looking for some recommendations for a KVM switch to use at home. I want to link my desktop and laptop machines. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, controlled by a USB dongle, so ideally I would like a switch that could handle USB inputs for the keyboard and mouse. Any suggestions?

The Belkin ones are ok, I have a two port one at home, can show you if you like :)
Will you have the laptop and shuttle side by side, with the laptop screen on? Take a look at synergy, I use it at home between the PowerBook and the Cube, but also my Windows machine, pretty nice. |
I've always used "omni view" - the more expensive ones have OSD and other widgittery

Got a Belkin. Very happy with it. Used them at when I worked.

I use a Belkin Omnicube. It swithces PS2, not USB but that's ok with PS2/USBadapters. Does your wireless kit only use one USB connection? Not sure how it'd cope with that.

Hi Steve - yes I will mate.
My keyboard and mouse is USB only - I know this might cause an issue, which is really why I asked the question. Thanks for the replies so far. |
Cracking program Steve - that might just work :)
|
Excellent :)
|
It's good - but I want something to share the screen with too :( Found a small Belkin KVM that might do the job - I've seen a couple of reviews that aren't brilliant though.
|
Oh, so you'll only have the one screen visible. VNC?
|
I'd like to use my main 17" monitor for both devices :)
|
USB to PS2 connectors. My mouse is USB, got a connector and it is fine.
|
Thanks chaps - found a decent one from Belkin for about £30 which should do the trick :)
