Wireless KVM Setup
Right now I have a Wireless Keyboard and Mouse (Dell)
I have a Wired monitor.
I am getting a new Dell computer from a friend and I want to share the wireless keyboard/mouse, and the wired monitor. What is the best way to do this? I want to stay with the same setup as I have now, but a wired KVM switch won't work for my wireless keyboard and mouse setup. I need advice.
THanks, Eric.

If I remember correctly, wireless logitech mouse worked on wired KVM for me, but Sony monitor definitely wasn't recognized correctly so gave up and returned KVM.

All of the KVM's I find are for a mouse and keyboard on seperate lines.

There are KVMs that handle USB input as well - like:

One caution - I used to use a KVM with my Logitech wireless set - the features of the mouse other than two buttons and wheel were not detected by the PCs. Logitech confirmed this as a fact of life, couldn't/wouldn't do anything about it at the time. YMMV

a KVM switch that just has one imput for a monitor, and one input for a USB reciever.
If you know of any of these websites that might sell a product like this, or similiar,
I would like to have the link. It's also ok if just the two buttons work, and the
scroll wheel work just because thats the total features of this mouse and keyboard
setup (it's a Dell brand).
Thanks, Eric.
Please post links of sites that have these KVM's! I've looked everywhere.

Also look around the CyberGuys site - they have lots more to offer.
