I am looking to connect 1 USB mouse & 1 USB keyboard (both at the same time) into the switcher, to switch between a Mac & Win7 PC. Will this work?

I connect a keyboard and mouse at the same time, switching between 2 different computers running win 7 on one and win 8 on the other, not familiar with Mac, but think should work the same way

I have connected keyboards, mice, external hard drives, and combo keyboard and touchpads to it. All worked fine. It has effectively two USB ports--a regular one and an on the go port that will also let you access it from a computer. If you need more than two USB connections you will need a hub, and the advice to use a powered hub is good, especially if the additional devices are like a network card, bluetooth dongle, or dongle for a wireless keyboard.

I'm a Mac person, but I think all USB mice will work in either platform. Only a left and right clicker, though, no fancy extras.

I seriously doubt it. Most computers will support both a USB mouse and Keyboard. and if the Bluetooth adapter for the mouse is built in, I would expect there to be absolutely no conflict. That said, I haven't tried it and with all the different motherboards out there, it might not be proof positive for your situation even if I had.

Afraid not. The switching happens on the 2 side. So 4 peripherals across 2 comps (or DVRs in your case). The button just toggles back and forth between the 2 connections. I use it to share mouse/keyboard across 2 comps.

Yes, I also use a USB Switch to cycle one keyboard and mouse between computers.

Sorry, I have no knowledge or experience with either of these devices. It works fine with ordinary wired USB keyboards and mice.

Yes, that should work. I have the reverse scenario, a wired keyboard and a wireless mouse and it works fine.

Yes it is the little plastic pull out legs and I have a mouse that is totally separate, use two different usb ports if your mouse you have has it's own wireless connector then yes if the same connector is used for both keyboard and mouse then I am not sure if it will work unless that source plugs different place than new keyboard. I love this keyboard and have a logitech red and white m525 mouse that works great. Good luck, I have gone through many keyboards and mice and these have worked great for over a year.

The KB & mouse work off the same USB receiver/dongle, no worries. And it could go into one of the USB ports in the back of your tower, freeing up the front USB port. Good luck, Johnny N.

Look into synergy software it may help you share mouse and keyboard across n pcs on windows Mac and Linux.

It should work fine. I have it connected to a windows 8 machine and a windows 7 machine for switching my mouse, keyboard and thumb drive with no problems. Great little device, but every once and a while I need to restart the windows 7 laptop to get it to recognize the keyboard/mouse. I think this is more to do with the power requirement of my K70 keyboard being on the end of a 25 foot USB run rather then a problem with the USB switch.

I haven't tried that so I am not certain if wireless will work or not. I can tell you that the IOGEAR 2-Port USB DVI-D KVM switch has 2 USB ports, one designated for the key board and one for the mouse. If your wireless KB & Mouse use 2 separate USB receivers, I would guess that the chances of it working properly are good.

No problem. Wired keyboard and wired mouse work fine - individually or as a group. Wireless keyboard and mouse work as well. So far, absolutely no problems with this unit and the USB3 speed is great. Don't forget to order a USB3 extender cable if you want to have the unit at a convenient place away from the PC. Kurt

The KVM switch should come with one cable that connects to your mouse, keyboard and monitor. Then you connect additional cables to each pc you want to control. It works very will and eliminates the need for additional keyboards, mice and monitors.

I use the same one to switch between a Mac laptop and PC desktop. What's the question?
