[QUOTE="Adam W, post: 897042, member: 69207"] Just found this after looking at your post from yesterday wmprice1240. Someone replied saying they had reviewed the Iogear KVM switch and found it much better than others they had tried. [url=http://www.svp.co.uk/technology/peripherals/external-connectivity/hardware-miniview-micro-usb-plus-kvm-switch-iogear001_retail.html]Iogear MiniView Micro USB PLUS KVM Switch - GCS632U - SVP[/url] Price seems reasonable. I initially did not want to use one keyboard/mouse for both computers, as i have recently purchased and Apple Wireless Mouse for my laptop. So, is it possible to use KVM switches purely for monitor use (no mouse/keyboard connected)? If not, and a mouse/keyboard does need to be connected, can a Apple Wireless mouse be used with a PC? If a Apple wireless mouse can be used, how would it work with a KVM? A bluetooth adapter in the USB connector? [/QUOTE]
