No probs with 2x wireless USBs, too. Running an Acer 5720 Notebook. Using Logitech vx revolution and its not bad. I am waiting for my tuning-knob from Stu K6TI but heard nothing for weeks now. 73, martin dl1fux Am 19.08.2010 19:05, schrieb Art: Have been using wireless mouse and keyboard w

I just use 3 3input/one output cheapo hdmi switches to switch the video and a cheapo usb four in/one out switch to move the keyboard/mouse. I think I have a total investment of 35 bucks (not counting the cheapo HDMI cables I purchased off ebay). 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.abrohamne

Since I have 4 computers and use 2 of them for PWRSDR ( each using 2 sreens). I would like to have a KVM switch for HDMI. The HDMI switches for home theater don't have USB switching (for mouse/keyboard)? Anyone seen a solution? John, ve3dvv ___ FlexRad

I have used a trackball since the 1970's (Navy CIC equipment) and now use them with a Flex 5000A. I have at least ten other programs opened (DXLab, DDUtil, LP100...) at the same time while using a USB to 8 serial port hub and the other serial ports and USB ports built into the machine and have

I'm using he Microsoft Trackball Optical (wired) and with the rolly ball, push-wheel, and with the 2-left + 2-right buttons, it's the best pointing device I've ever used! Have tried newer stuff (wired + wireless) and have always gone back to the Trackball. I don't think MS mfgrs them anymore, bu

One "beware" on the trackballs. They are usually USB devices, and to speed up the response time, some manufacturers are calling the device extremely frequently, which can chew up the USB bandwidth, and generate a lot of commotion. I love my Kensington four button trackball, but you can pay a pric

The thing with trackballs (and I am a user also) is to get one with a mouse wheel. I think Kensington has the best trackballs but only one that has any mouse wheel capability (and that is a ring you can twirl around the ball itself).
