How to make direct slot swapping usable with the ShuOne 8 port KM Synchronizer

[nodoze]

The G keys on both my G613 keyboard & my G502 Hero mouse do NOT work when connected to my KVM (they work fine as a generic mouse/keyboard just no G programmability)...

I have the ShuOne here but haven't had time to test though I am not at all surprised to hear your G502 is not working...

Most modern devices need to be directly connected to the PC/VM and the software running on that PC to do macros... Older devices tended to use hardware storage of the macros but the shift in the more modern devices is to store the logic in software...

That is why I have been recommending the Koolertron devices as they indicate the store the macros in hardware and thus have a good chance to work fine when connected to a KVM/KM... You may need to directly connect the Koolertron to a PC running Koolertron software to program it but once the macros are programmed and stored in the hardware you should be able to move it and connect it to a KM/KVM and it should work just fine... The 2 Koolertrons that caught my eye and looked good in research at least were/are the:

- 48 key model: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B076LRJ528
- 23 key model: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07KT3RR56

I also have the 48 key here but no time to really test right now...

EDIT: Tracking of Testing is now being done here so it is in one place in one easily accessible post:

Heads up that multiple people are having trouble getting the Koolertron keypads working through the KM switch so I would not order one if you haven't already (or if you got one try it with a different switch)...

If anyone does get a Koolertron working through the ShuOne please report back here any tips/tricks...

Test results with an Aimos 4 port Synchronous KVM switch :

• - OK: Razer Orbweaver;
• - OK: Red Dragon M900 Legend;
• - NOT ok: Logitech g502 Hero;
• - NOT ok: Logitech g502;
