Nerwin Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hey guys, Ive been looking for a KVM switch for my computer but...My monitor has a VGA port and my main computer is using DVI, so my main computer don't need to be connected to the switch, I just want my keyboard and mouse connected to the switch so i dont have to have 2 keyboards and mouse.I was thinking to get thishttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817395001 ( i know that says 30 bucks but its 14 bucks on Tiger Direct! )Thanks guys, P.S, I'm kinda in a hurry,, I got PC's backed up to get repaired and i have no way of doing it cause I need my computer! Thanks guys!, yes, I know again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zxian Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Your video card should have come with a DVI->VGA adaptor, so you can even use your main computer over the KVM.The DLink one will probably work, but I'd recommend this Linksys 2-port KVM instead. I've got it here, and it works flawlessly. Sightly more expensive, but I've always prefered Linksys over DLink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerwin Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Yeah, but my mointor has 2 video inputs and i'm using DVI and I muse use DVI cause its soooo clear, BTW.. my mointor is HD sooo thats why i like using my DVI, casue its brighter and clearer All i want is to use my keyboard and mouse.. thats it ... But after I thought about it, I need a 4 port KVM cause one will be my file server and the others will just be reserved for repairing computers and what not.But my keyboard is PS/2 and my mouse is USB, could i just put the PS\2 to USB converter on that and it still should work right?

Zxian Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 The PS2->USB converter should work without any trouble in most cases.Here's a relatively cheap 4-port KVM switch. I can't tell you anything about my experience, but it seems to have good reviews:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817107401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
