has anyone gotten past the problem of using a wireless keyboard/mouse with this dual monitor kvm/vga switch?

I am using a wireless mouse (mircorsoft model 3500) and wired keyboard (backlight keys) with the SV431DDVDUA 4 port KVM. hope this helps.

I am using a 4 port KVM DVI/VGA switch and I had no problems using a wireless mouse/keyboard.

I have owned a few different make KVM switches and have not gotten past the wireless issue. In my experience the PC's are unable to recognize the hardware due the conflict between the USB connection through the KVM and the wireless connection. If you have an extra USB receiver plug one into each PC and eliminate the keyboard/mouse hardwire connection altogether.

Can you clairify your question? 1. Are you asking if it will switch between two VGA inputs while using the same mouse and keyboard input? If so, the answer is no. When you click the button, it changes the VGA input as well as the mouse/keyboard input. 2. Are you asking if it will be switch between two VGA without having to connect a keyboad/mouse? Then yes, if you connect just two VGA inputs, it will switch between them with no issues.

Lana i have a keyboard and mouse hooked up to this device. Have had no problems.

Yes. I currently use the wireless mouse. Be aware that there are only 2 standard USB ports and running both the mouse and keyboard at the same time may use both slots. Probably not an issue, but just pointing it out.

It has all the cables you normally need. Hopefully, your VGA monitor came shipped with a VGA cable. Any USB corded mouse and keyboard will work with the KVM Switch.

I only used my KVM with my MX518, and that worked fine. I can't say I ever used a KVM with my G500 though(left click switch went bad in under 1 year btw, I just bought the G700). I suspect the KVM switch would not effect the standard functionality. Any lack of operation would probably be more specific to the KVM's quality or compatibility with the mouse due to voltage or signal loss through the KVM.

I use an external keyboard and one monitor with mine. I am not sure about the second monitor. Sorry.

yes, I'm using a USB keyboard w/ built in mouse, shared between two touchscreen monitors. Works perfectly.

I use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and they work okay. If you are using a wireless mouse and keyboard with dedicated or proprietary receivers, are you plugging these receivers into the USB ports on the monitor? That may cause problems.

All you guys who say it works fine with KVM have obviously not installed the SetPoint software. It will NOT work with this keyboard through a KVM switch unless the switch does NOT use keyboard emulation or it uses the new dynamic device mapping tech. Mine works fine with IOGEAR USB KVM, but the SetPoint software doesn't see the KB unless its hooked directly to the computer. This is because when its on the KVM, windows sees a different keyboard in Device Manager, with a totally different hardware ID. Solution is to get a passive switch which doesn't use hotkeys and has push buttons, like the ConnectPro UR-14. Or, the fancy full automatic ConnectPro UR-14+ which uses the dynamic device mapping, which as far as I know is a UNIQUE feature. It will translate the hardware ID so that Windows actually sees it as a Logitech keyboard, not a generic HID keyboard. Hope this helps some folks. Unfortunately I returned the KB anyway because it sufferes from phantom keyblocking while my old Saitek Eclipse II does not. Try holding Shift+W and then pressing SpaceBar. The space is IGNORED! Not on my Saitek! That makes it terrible for gamers.

I don't think that would work. The mouse and keyboard plug in through USB ports into the KVM device that go back and forth to be used between all the devices connected. Several times I've attempted to use my laptop to control the keyboard and mouse functions on the other system (when I thought my keyboard and/or mouse had died with random power outages) and it never worked. I think you need something connected via USB into those ports.

I haven't tried that so I am not certain if wireless will work or not. I can tell you that the IOGEAR 2-Port USB DVI-D KVM switch has 2 USB ports, one designated for the key board and one for the mouse. If your wireless KB & Mouse use 2 separate USB receivers, I would guess that the chances of it working properly are good.

I am using a usb mouse and a usb keyboard their are 2 usb connections on the KVM

Yes. I have tested it directly attached to a laptop and connected through a KVM switch. In both cases it works fine.

I have never tried using it with one computer. If you only have one computer, why would you need a KVM switch? Try disconnecting the un-used port and see if it works.

There is a standard VGA 15pin connector to connect to any PC MonitorYou can use a standard mouse and keyboard either USB or mini Din. I actually use Logitech wireless version

I can't say. I'm one Win7 and one XP, with one VGA and one DVI monitor. Sometimes the mouse is very choppy after switching, but it seems to resolve itself quickly. Just a short, minor nuisance. It's not perfect, but I'm not unhappy with it. Call the mfr with your question. They were helpful and knowledgeable when I called.
