Will this keyboard work with a kvm or does it need to be connected directly?

I don't know exactly. I has a USB port connection and a adapter it is designed to be used with a standard PC.

I use the Startech KVM switch with a Logitech G500 gaming mouse without issue. My keyboard is a standard keyboard though. I would add, the times I've had problems with the KVM switch are when the KVM switch gets radio frequency interference from my iphone. So, I keep the iphone away from the KVM switch and it works like a charm.

I used it with a Keytronics keyboard and it worked just fine. I have since purchased a new keyboard.

KVM come with 8" audio connection cable, I have to connect to the audio output of my laptop. I am connecting this it view sonic 27" HD monitor not to TV.

The keyboard the comes with the computer requires a USB connection, so I assume that any keyboard from a 3rd party will need one.

I used this cable to connect and old KVM switch with ps2 connections only to a new computer with usb only. Keyboard worked ok but couldn't get the mouse recognized. Had another adapter in use with another computer. Verified the issue moves with this adapter. Not sure if the problem is with the adapter or switch.

KVM's are generally for keyboards, video and mice. I would suggest you buy a usb hub for your "other" usb devices. They sell them with on/off switches as well for convenience. Hope this helps.

I guess I should be more specific. Anyone find a KVM that will allow this keyboard to light up? It will work as a standard non-lit keyboard with any KVM but no backlight and what good is that?

I don't know what a kvm is. It plugs in line in between a keyboard and a PC. What ever is typed into that keyboard is recorded.

Salik, this combo will work with Linux. I have used it on Ubuntu fine. I am not sure if there is compatible software for programming the keys though, as I have not looked. It will work though, it uses the standard USB HID Keyboard and Mouse Drivers which work on almost all operating systems. The software (Logitech SetPoint) is the only thing that is not portable to all OS's but you may be able to find it for Linux. Try looking at this, it should work, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIDPoint.

I have no clue, however, I do know you need an adapter to connect it. Mine came with it. After that, its the same as any other keyboard I've used.

depends on the model you are choosing the price may be a bit different, but as far as I am aware, the k70 is the k70.Be aware that this keyboard doesn't play well with KVM switches FYI.

Yes, I initially used it with both a wireless keyboard and mouse but now only the keyboard is wireless. Problem was the mouse, not the KVM

The KVM switch should come with one cable that connects to your mouse, keyboard and monitor. Then you connect additional cables to each pc you want to control. It works very will and eliminates the need for additional keyboards, mice and monitors.

It should. I've got 8 of them I've been using with various KVMs. Occasionally the converter goes stupid and needs to be reset, this usually happens when booting the computer. Disconnect and reconnect and it usually fixes it.

If the KVM has a DMS-59 output, probably. You can see a photo of a DMS-59 connector on Wikipedia.
