So I have this Kensington ShareCentral 5 USB switch that I really like - but it's over 10 years old and it seems like it's on the fritz.
I like it because it switches your KB from System A to System B when you double-tap the Scroll-Lock key.
Super handy to switch from work PC to home PC through the day.
I don't need the V or M of a KVM - my monitor handles dual inputs easily and I have two mice.
I've heard there are a few different kinds of KB switches - some of them make your PC think the KB is constantly connected where as on simpler switches, the KB disconnects when you switch (not ideal).
The ShareCentral is powered and never seemed to have an issue with LED Keyboards (currently using a Pok3r RGB LE)
Anyone have any advice? Something small and simple that switches on a hot key...
Thanks
