Can something like this:

split N52's or X-keys to multiple computers? Not sure how it's wired, but physically you can input 1 devices and output it to two computers unless I am not thinking correctly. Has it already been tried? Might just get one and guinie pig it with an N52 to two of my computers on it's last legs. http://cablesonline.stores.yahoo.net/12usbdaandex.html Will see if I can find it locally.
I don't believe that would work.
It's official, Vetra is taking orders on their USB keyboard replicator.
I spoke to them today. The base model that supports only one USB device (read: not the N52, use a normal keyboard) is finished. There's a lead time, but they'll put you in line for one.
USB multi-boxing, here I come!
That's too bad, was hoping to get an X-key 128 board and broadcast it to 3 computers/accounts splitting all the keys between them with some being for all three and many being specific to each of the three. Think I'll just get 2 more X-key pro's, have the desk space for it anyway. Probably about the same cost wise for 3 X-key pro's vrs 1 X-key 128 and the broadcaster.Quote:

How much, how many ports?
$299, 4 ports.

This may not be an issue. The reason why the N52 isn't compatible is that it is actually 2 separate USB devices that are connected via an internal hub. That means the box would have to replicate two separate devices. The base model does not.
From looking at the X-keys website, I'd wager that all of the devices that are listed as "PC-keyboard or USB" would work. The "USB only" ones look like that all have a mouse input of some sort, which might imply an internal hub. Then again, this is all complete hand-waving and opinion. In the end, ask the Vetra guys. They'll probably know, and if they don't, they can probably find out.[/i]
I am fairly sure you are confused. The N52 is one device and the initial reply from Vetra was it was easy. The G15 was the problem because it is 3 devices and a HUB.Quote:

Yep. Confused. I despise the accursed things, so one mysterious designation got confused with another. I use keyboard. Normal ones.
s/N52/G15/g in all of my posts.
