Vetra now has a USB multiplier. $299 - 4 Ports

That sounds very very enticing.

I do not care about the G15 LCD working or not working really.

A couple of status LEDs for connected units, broadcast on/off and a key combination or buttons to switch broadcast on/off or address only a single computer would round the product to a 'must have'.

broadcast on/off and a key combination or buttons to switch broadcast on/off or address only a single computer would round the product to a 'must have'.

Remember this isn't only about keyboards. Keystroke combo to enable/disable broadcast may not be easy to do without limiting the device type. Personally if just an N52 works with it I would be happy. I dont need the rest. I will have to see what the various model prices end up being (based on the info we have the 3 device version has to have alot more hardware than the single device).

With that said .. it seems the N52 uses a basic HID driver and actually is sending "weird" keycodes (unassigned codes). The G15's Gkeys do not seem to work this way.

This is 2nd hand info I got from talking with Inire about what he was told from Vetra

Man, that's the last time I talk to you at lunch.

Ordered myself an 8 port multiplexer and an 8 port KM.

I was asked what game I play ... apparently we've created a "cottage market" for Vetra. lol

Cottage Market was his term ... cottage industry wouldn't really apply ... can't remember what came to mind when he said that would actually be more correct.

You should tell him about this site

Its a switch, not a Multicaster. There are HUGE differences.
