Best USB Switch??
I have a homebuilt PC and am looking into getting a mac mini, i have a wireless keyboard and mouse. I want to share them between my 2 comps. I don't need a KVM Switch because I have multiple inputs on my monitor. I found this Belkin product here: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProdu...duct_Id=133278
But it does not work with Mac 0SX10.3 and above. Do you guys have any sugestions?

Try using edit willboy
And though I'm no expert, I'd suggest that would work fine. |

Manual sharing switches may not work, because when you switch to the Mac, the PC may error out due to no keyboard being detected, and possibly vice versa. You should use a KVM because they simulate a keyboard and mouse to the inactive unit. Just use a full USB KVM and don't hook up the monitor to it.
As an aside, I have used manual USB sharing switches to connect USB printers and scanners to both a Mac and a PC, and it works great for that. |
