What if I have two different keyboards on two pc's in the same office? Will they cross-talk? Thanks.

I have two computers on my desk (Windows and Linux). And I have two sets of the MS 5000 keyboard and mouse, side by side, one connected to each computer, and have seen no interference whatsoever. I dislike the recessed function keys, but after using for years, I'm getting used to them.

I have two PC's with two different keyboards at 45-degree angles to each other and about 2 feet away from each other placed on different sides of an L-shaped control center. No cross talk happening here.

You dont always have to use both mouse and keyboard plugged in for it to work, so yes... using a keyboard only will work.

Gary - the keyboard is a simple plug and play devise. As long as you have a USB port, you should be able to use it. I have been very happy with it, as it essentially allows another workstation in my office. Hope this helps. Take Care!

You have to connect the keyboard to your computer using a code; once connected it will remain connected to that device without having to reprogram it. I have had my keyboard lose it's connection once in two years where I have had to re-pair it, but that is all. Whether it can be paired to more than one device at a time I don't know.

Yes. The way I have it set up is I have two monitors for my desktop, one for my work laptop. I only have the VGA connectors hooked up, and can switch one of the monitors between the desktop and laptop. For keyboard and mouse, they are connected directly to my desktop. I use synergy on the desktop and laptop so the laptop shares the keyboard/mouse with the desktop. That way I can always access both computers with the keyboard/mouse regardless of which one is using the extra real estate on the second monitor.

Gwendolyn, If I understand your question - yes. What I understand is that you have a Bluetooth keyboard, but your computer does not have Bluetooth. If my understanding is not correct, let me know.

In my experience (several months), there has been no compromise whatsoever in normal keyboard function. I can use any and all key sequences and combinations I have used on any system with a standard wired or wireless keyboard connection.

it depends on distance between PC and keyboard. You shouldl have no trouble with this cable it works perfect with no problems.

Yes. The letters would be in a different corner on the key than you are used to (so you can see both letters at the same time) but they should work nicely for your problem.

This adapter handles multiple devices, up to seven. When you say multiple keyboards, I'm presuming you mean different keyboards for different computers. Either way, to clarify, you need one adapter for each computer, which will then allow the computer to which it is connected handle up to seven devices. This device has worked perfectly for me. I've connected it to Bluetooth speakers, keyboards, headphones, and more.

There are different models of the same keyboard/mouse. One is Bluetooth and one is USB.

You just need this device and thats all. You can use one keyboard to two laptops or computers.. This is worth to buy. I am so happy after buying this.

Looks like you should be fine. The keyboard uses Logitech's UNIFYING receiver, and the M525 shows up on the Logitech site as using the same UNIFYING receiver system as well. There are restrictions as to how many you can connect to a single receiver too, so that needs to be considered. I would double check the mouse and confirm that it's using the UNIFYING receiver just to be safe.

I had the same type situation. I did have another keyboard with usb and have mice of both kinds, so had no problem.

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.

It will if you have a Unifying mouse. Look on the bottom for a small reddish square with a star shape in the center. If your mouse is corded you may still use it with the new keyboard.

Look at the keyboard very closely. If all the keys are in the right place you should be ok. They only have a couple of options.
