KVM Switch w/ bluetooth mouse&keyboard?

[todlerix]

I have a customer who has just purchased a new machine and wants to toggle between the systems. I recommended a KVM switch - i found out later that she has a usb bluetooth dongle and has both keyboard and mouse attached to it.

She has XP on the old and Vista on the new

Not gona happen, I tried this one already, it will work on one computer but not the other depending on which computer is powering the KVM.

KVM suck power off of one computer and not the other, this is to reduce chances of a short frying both computers, when you hit the KVM switch the dongle will lose power and reset.

I tried several different KVM and they all did the same damn thing, heck the KVM's didn't really do good things for my G-15 either, the screen would go blank after switching.

I just picked up LinksKey LDV-DM702AUSK, about $300 at Newegg. According to the literature it supports bluetooth devices. It's a dual display (DVI+DVI) KVM with 7.1 audio and USB switching.

I'm using it with a Vista-64 box and an '08 Mac Pro. No problems yet, just finished installing it. I'm using the Apple slim keyboard and a Logitech MX Revolution mouse.
