can I switch computers with a hotkey?

No, it doesn't support hotkeys. You have to use a little controller that comes with it which forces you to take your hands off the keyboard.

This model has a dedicated button for switching computers. There is a different model that uses hot keys.

I don't believe so. The switch button is very small with plenty of cable to put it within easy access

No, it has to be switched by the device itself. The device is only a pass through switch. Device is reliable and have been used frequently.

I believe only buttons and shuttle mappings back to the keyboard. I don't think you can program mouse movements.

The switch will go back and forth between the two regardless of whether either computer is on (using the button). I frequently have only one computer attached to the switch because the second computer I use is a laptop, but I have used the switch to go over to the laptop even when the desktop is off. In other words, the switch will do its thing ignoring what the computers are doing.

Yes you can. How do you intend to follow you mouse and use your keyboard without a computer monitor?

I am using a multifunction gaming mouse myself, and yes you can as long as all connected computers have the software installed and you will want to be sure that all the computers have the same profiles setup so you won't have any confusion.

I have this between a Mac Mini and PC, the switch over is instant when one of the computers is turned off. I have never tried to toggle between them when they both are running, my HP monitor will not auto stitch between them so I just use one or the other depending on what I want to do.

Yes indeed. I am doing it right now. My older computer runs on Windows XP, but I cannot run internet on that computer any more, so I got another computer just for internet. I have two monitors, but only one keyboard and one mouse. The switch works very well, just as it is supposed to work. You can connect with me through metric pioneer if you want more details. Thanks for asking.

Yes. Simply pressing the large button acts as a switch, overriding the program until it is set to come on or you manipulate the switch again. Awesome switch.

That might work, but it sounds like it would be a pain to switch between computers. Check out http://synergy-foss.org/. If your 3 computers are all on the same network, you can install Synergy on each one, and share the keyboard and mouse between them. It's seamless. There's no switching involved. Your mouse moves between the monitors as if it was all one big desktop. You can even copy and paste between computers. It's like magic. It's not perfect, but it's pretty cool.

Yes, you can. You will plug one computer in to PC1 and the other one in to PC2. There is a button on top of the switch that you will have to press to indicate which computer is printing.

I don't know if that would work. It only takes a about 5 seconds to switch my headset/ keyboard/ mouse. I would imagine it depends on the web cams and their drivers as well. Also on your definition of 'much'

Afraid not. The switching happens on the 2 side. So 4 peripherals across 2 comps (or DVRs in your case). The button just toggles back and forth between the 2 connections. I use it to share mouse/keyboard across 2 comps.

If you mean the ability to swap the functions of each button press on the mouse, yes, it's possible, but you need the Razer Synapse software. You can rest easy with this software because it was designed specifically with Razer products in mind. The software allows for many other things like DPI options. If you mean the ability to swap left and right click, then that is a feature built into Windows, so you can change it through control panel. Not entirely sure about other Operating Systems though.

No. There is only 1 button. On my system it is right click by default but you may be able to change it through your systems drivers.

There is the ability, without software, to switch to the next port in line using the numlock key or the scroll lock key. This only moves to the next port in line eg, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-1. If you install the software you can switch to any port with a hoy key, but it has to be installed on all the computers you want to use this feature.

The keys cannot be reassigned via the keyboard. Maybe there is some software available that will remap.

No. The button toggle between input or output mode. Can not be both at the same time.
