Friggin' KVM!

[mrquackers]

I'm trying to save some desk space with a LinXcel PS-141B KVM Switch. I've got a standard monitor and PS2 keyboard running into it, but use a USB mouse (USB-to-PS2 converter attached to it running into the KVM).

Things work fine when I boot up, but once I switch machines, the mouse is functionally dead for both machines. Any ideas why this is occurring and possible fixes? (I've tried two separate USB mice - and am not willing to discontinuing use of both of them.)

If this is a hopeless situation, do you have suggestions on a good KVM that can handle a PS2 keyboard and USB mouse?

Thanks!

I think you are probably going to have problems finding a KVM that is PS/2 keyboard and USB mouse. The best solution would probably be to do what you are doing--use an adapter.

Try unplugging and replugging the mouse when it goes dead, see if that fixes it.

Me and one of my friends have found out alot of KVM's are picky which type of mice you can use with them....mine won't like my logitech mouse, so I use and old hp ball mouse......so I have two mice on my desk.......
