Beware - Doesn't support SOME multi-function...

Strengths: It has 2-speaker audio. It converts PS2 Keyboard & Mouse into single USB input into PC

Weakness: Doesn't support MS multi-function keyboard like MS Natural & Multimedia (Two kinds I have)

I borrowed a plain Jane PS/2 keyboard and it works find with this KVM. I wanted to use it with my MS "Natural" & "Natural Multi-Media" but it doesn't recognize the SCROLL button. Called support and they said their was nothing I could do. Basically I have to give up my expensive keyboards in order to use this cheap KVM. I am used to my keyboards so I am stuck. Using the cheap keyboard the KVM works fine. Hit SCROLL-LOCK twice and it switchs to the other PC. I originally gave the KVM 1 star but now that I see that it works fine with a cheapo keyboard I'm giving it a 3 star. If I only had a cheapo keyboard I'd give it 5 stars.
