I bought this like half a year ago for no reason and I have never used it tips on what I can do with it?

i'm not really sure but last time i saw (and used) one of those it was good for using two computers with one mouse/keyboard/monitor. not simultaneously, but switchable.
not really what you would need for multiboxing.

I have a two monitor setup and the second monitor has multiple inputs so what I do since i don't look at my slaves screens normally, is on a different video input I attach the kvm to a second system that is setup to watch dvds, netflix, tvtuner etc. The other connection on the kvm goes to my scratch box or whatever computer I am fixing for someone at the time.


Back in the day I used to 2-box with a kvm but with the size of monitors now and the fact that we have multi-core processors its to much of a pita to even contemplate today
