Hi Marla Not being around kvm much but it stands for keyboard video mouse. Unless there is a usb connection of A or B for a usb cable as such is here.

I am currently using one on a 4 port KVM it works great. That said it might depend on the KVM. If it has a USB port I would give it a shot.

I haven't had the need to mix the two but the following may be helpful.The box the IOGEAR 4-Port USB KVM switch came in states it is compatible with MAC X v10.8.6 or later. Logically, as long as the video output on the Mac is compatible with the PC output ( similar standard) there is no reason it should not work. The mouse and keyboard are USB so I would think they are standard and should not be a problem.

The main cables are about 3 feet each. The one for the button (allowing you to switch which machine you control/display) is about 6 feet. How far apart are the machines that the switch will be connected to? The KVM box itself doesn't have to be accessible or even visible since the button is on a long cable. You might have to get cheap USB and DVI extension cords if the machines are any farther apart than 6 feet though.

Not tried that so I'm not sure but you may want to consider using the VGA version of this switch instead then unless you have a mix of computers.

No, it's for the KVM switch, to enable the use of 2 computers with one Keyboard, Video Monitor and Mouse

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

This cable takes connection from the VGA end to the HDMI, and it should work if that's how you intend to use it.

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

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

I would buy a dual dvi KVM switch, not this one. There are several on the market that are quite good. If you insist on this KVM, then buy an adapter to convert DVI to VGA or vice versa as needed.

Not with this cable. This is a cable for a Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) switch which connects two computers to the same keyboard, monitor and mouse. We have used a Sabrent multi-display (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps

Yes, but it's a cable for a KVM box. Mine had been lets say 'disabled' by lightning so I bought this as a replacement. I no longer use it. I have two laptops I need to connect to one monitor and switch between the two. If you need to do something like that, you can get the Belkin Flip 2-Port KVM Switch. I don't know of a way to transport video to a monitor simply via USB. Most only transmit video via VGA port which both items have. If you don't have a VGA port, you may need a digital type adapter.

This WILL work with any computer that has a VGA connection or an VGA connection to whatever output, (for example DVI....) you have.... The OS doesnt matter just the Hardware port.... So pretty much you can be running XP, Vista, 7, or 8 and as long as you have a VGA connection to plug into the KVM Switch it WILLL work... Unless the VGA port is shot lol

The KVM switch has two display ports, one VGA and the other DVI so may or may not need adaptors. It depends on your monitor and what display ports are on your monitors. I used the DVI as my main monitor and VGA as my secondary monitor. if you have Windows you can go to Control Panel --> Personalization --> Display Settings to Extend the desktop onto this monitor so that you can used two monitor. I forgot to mention that you'll need two display ports on your PC either on the motherboard or graphic card connected to the two/four port Dual monitor KVM Switch.

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.
