Switch me, please.

Ok, so inspired by zannah, I simply had to get a KVM. I bought an Iogear as well, and so far I’m impressed. I like it! I was able to change the hotkeys Really easily to ctrl-ctrl, which is what I’m used to from using the KVM’s at my old work place. Pretty nice.

I ran into some issues actually when I was using it on my Windows PC and my logitech mouse. I’ve Really come to conclusion that my Mac is superior to my PC. When switching, if using the logitech cordless optical, I’d lose the mouse, but not the keyboard. I’m sure this has many reasons due to the fact that I’m using the USB 2way KVM. But frankly, I thought I’d have problems with the keyboard if nothing else. No matter. I am using my logitech USB keyboard, but now I have converted over to my Microsoft Optical Mouse, which is what I used to use on the Mac.

Figure’s, it does work kinda sorta. I seem to lose double click, even though the windows CP says that my mouse is set to double click on the scroll button. When switching, windows does see a new component being used on my USB port as well (which I will assume it’s the mouse, since it never happened with the logitech cordless).

It works, that’s all that matters and this is such a space saver. Now I don’t have to turn around or have 2 keyboards and mice on my desk. Now if I could only get around cleaning up my desk. I don’t think any company makes a desk cleaner upper…
