KVM issues

[d3rkn3ss]

Alright, here's the deal, I just got a PS2 KVM switch.. but I have USB keyboard and mouse, im using usb->ps2 adapters for both my mouse and keyboard, when I plug everything in and boot up only my mouse works. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

have you tried switching the adapters. try the adapter from your mouse on the keyboard. that would tell you if the adapter is ok or if the kvm may be the problem

i found that the adapters are cheap and sometimes dont work dependably or not all. i have had to replace a few adapters , even brand new ones

i have also found that kvms can be flaky, the trendnet one i have now works ok fora few weeks then either the mouse or keyboard will suddenly stop responding. i go back to manually switching the mouse and keyboard between computers, then.when i have time to troubleshoot the kvm i find it is working again
