Does this keyboard work with a ioGear KVM switch? The Comfort 5000 model works except for the shortcut keys which I need.

Yes. I have an ioGear switch: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002K0TU2C/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and all keyboard functions work on both computers with this keyboard.

Doris, I have never done this before, but there is no reason, that I can think of, why that would not work. Should not be an issue. I assumed........., based on your question, that you will have all of your peripherals (keyboard, mouse, printer, etc....) connected to the KVM switch, and that you will be switching back and forth between the two CPUs (computers). One for work and one for home?

I don't really know but, it should. I got that keyboard and within a week, trashed it. It wanted to create it's own key functions while using it. None of the keys responded as they were supposed to. Ie..., the 'F' was some times, the 'H' key, none of them functioned properly at all. I should have sent it back for a refund but, it was cheap and I got what I paid for.

Yes. I am using one right now with a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard. This KVM switch works.

It works without problems, but if you use a KVM team, otherwise this cable will not work and can use either, but not simultaneously. greetings

Generally yes. Some KVMs do not comply with USB standards, but they work with most of them. Sometimes if it doesn't work at the keyboard input of the KVM (to record keyboard activity on both PCs) it will work on the input to one of the PCs. Generally works fine on most KVM keyboard input ports though.

I'm not sure what you're exactly referring to, but there are two USB ports on the KVM switch. I have my mouse and keyboard hooked up to the KVM switch. Using the switch, I can control both computers I connect it to.

I have not been able to use the wireless keyboard with this switch but I have separate transmitters. My wireless mouse works fine. If you have a common transmitter, I would try using it in the mouse port of the switch. There might be something about the keyboard port that causes trouble - likely the hotkey command protocols.

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.

if you store the function in the mouses memory it works hopping between multiple computers, it will have issues if you store in profiles on the computer. i havent tested it on a KVM though.

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.

Yes, it works great with mine. It takes a little getting used to as it's smaller than a regular keyboard, but it's not a big problem.

If your powered KVM (and attached devices) support USB it sure will.Unpowered KVMs might not work.

I purchased mine to be able to hook PS2 keyboard and mouse to a KVM switch. I think it should work.

I'm using this keyboard with Windows 7 Home Premium. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I'm using the unit with an old style tactile -feel keyboard and a USB mouse. Works flawlessly. As to your specific use, the only way is to contact the manufacturer of both pieces of equipment; or buy it and try it.

Yes, but a real KVM would be better since that will simulate a mouse and keyboard on BOTH systems at launch( or all, since there are KVMs that support more than just 2 machines at once), IOGear has some nice cheap 2 machine KVMs that will work wonders for you, (you can share single monitor with that setup also, or if you don't need that, then just plug the monitors up separately from the KVM cables). Also a really nice feature of some KVM is to be able to switch between the machines by pressing scroll lock twice. But to your direct question... This will probably work, but is really designed for toggling other devices such as an external hard drive, or USB drives, etc. Also you would need a USB hub if your mouse and keyboard are not a single pair.
