    KVM switch

    Will probably use a KVM switch to declutter mice and keyboards.
    Question:
    Some functions have been assigned to keys from specific keyboards, with FSUIPC, then to specific buttons (joystick or interface cards)
    Does the use of a KVM switch interferes with that?

    It's a free download. a server module is installed on the computers without keyboards and mice, and the client (Viewer) is installed on the computer with the keyboard and mouse. it hardly uses any resources, but is very handy. from the viewer, you just type the name or ip address of the machine you want to control, and your golden. Works just like remote desktop software.
