I'm thinking of getting this KVM switch to allow me to have my gaming PC and my dev/HTPC machine hooked up to one monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Have a 19" Samsung running off VGA, one PC with WinXP and GBPVR and another with WinXP and Ubunu linux on dual boot. I want to use the KVM with a Microsoft Multimedia keyboard and IntelliMouse.
Questions/Issues
* Googling I've found that not all keyboards work with KVM due to a Scroll Lock key problem.
* Would a KVM introduce lag on keyboard/mouse commands? This would be a nightmare when playing games.
* Would all the extra multimedia buttons on the keyboard still work when used through a KVM?
Anyone help?
