  1. Solved (at least for me): Tripp Lite 4-Port Dual Monitor DVI KVM Switch with Audio and USB 2.0 Hub Part: B004-2DUA4-K So, I setup this KVM and it not only works with my K95, it works with all of the PC's I've attempted to connect it to. I am inclined to believe Corsair James, because of the experiences and problems I have been having it does not appear to be a problem with the K95 - it is a problem with specific MOBO Mfrs. So, I went through about 3 other KVM's (thank goodness for Prime and free returns) and none of them worked with all of my machines. This one did - so I am posting here in case someone in the future has a similar problem. A note: This KVM needs to have Keyboard emulation (on by default) turned off. You simply press NumLock and '-' to get into programing mode, then hit the 'n' key to turn off KB emulation. I basically put in a dummy USB keyboard used it to turn KB emulation off, then plugged the K95 in. The only thing that has me scratching my head now is why KVM's are so rare. Oh well.
  2. Well, I know that it "kind-of" works with my http://linkskey.com/product/ldv-dm724ausk-linkskey-4-port-dual-monitor-dvidvi-dual-link-7-1-surround-sound-kvm-switch-w-cables/ It works on 2 out of 3 machines :P If it worked on 3 out of 3 ... well I'd be a happy camper! I don't know what is up with that other machine, but nothing I do seems to get it to work.
  3. The only thing I have plugged in is the K95, a mouse, and a powered USB Hub. The second plug of the K95 is plugged into the powered USB Hub.
  4. So, I ditched my ioGear MiniView Pro - since it "emulates" a keyboard it will not work with any gaming keyboard (blech). I'm now on to the Linkskey "LDV-DM7224USK" and this is turning out to be $500 of worthless garbage. (Long story short, it works with 1 machine and not another... and if it ever loses power you have to disconnect and reconnect all the cables (not a small task). So, here I am, about to return the Linkskey, and I am wondering if anyone out there has a recommendation. I would prefer a triple port DVI solution, but will settle for Dual (or even a single... I'm desparate!) - and it needs to switch 4 PC's I would like it to switch Audio as well, but just stereo is needed - I don't need anything fancy. Price isn't a big issue - I want quality and I want it to work. So please, someone with a working KVM let me know. I know that Corsair "doesn't recommend/test KVM's" but that doesn't mean they won't work. Thanks!
