Hi Fred, Yes, it can be setup without sighted help. Just be careful when you're hooking up your monitor cables so you don't bend any pins. The rest of the cables are USB & speaker / soundcard plugs. If it will make you feel more comfortable, you can contact me off list, & I'll do what I can to walk you through getting it all connected. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

Mister Ed, the link is fine. Is this equipment something that the average blind person can set up or is sighted assistance needed?I plan to order the equipment and I need a new computer desk so I will wait until I get the desk before setting up the Iogear equipment.

I think they changed the number on it. The KVM switch you want is a IOGear GSC72U. Below is the link for it on Amazon. Price is 21 bucks. If this link is not correct or does not work for you let me know.

All I have to do is push one button to switch from one computer to the other one. I have had it for many years and it workds very well. I think the cost of KVM switch cost around 20 to 30 bucks. It had all the wires on it to connect to two computers. You just plug your mouse, monitor, keyboard and speakers in to the switch. If you want to know the brand I have let me know and I will have my wife look at it and tell you what brand it is. I hope this helps. You can have both computers on and then switch between them. I have been on the phone with Microsoft Disability Line and had them on both computers at the same time. I told the guy he can do that and he tried it. So he fix both my computers at the same time and I was able to just hit the switch and go back and forth between both computers.

I am using two computers and two keyboards from my desk now and it would be much easier if I could run both computers using one keyboard. Thanks much, FRED C. ADAMS W4HC MARANATHA!!
