Input Device compatibility testing with KVM & KM switches

[nodoze]

Results of testing of various devices (Keyboards/Mice) with various synchronous KM/KVM switches with ratings as:

• GOOD: Programmable macros & added functionality work as intended;
• OK: Device functions but only with default key-binds or as a plain keyboard/mouse;
• BAD: Device unusable or key pieces of the device do not function at all;

Note: It is likely that the Aimos 4 port and 8 port both work identically but just in case not we will denote which devices have been tested with which switch...

Test results with an Aimos 8 port Synchronous KM switch (also on newegg) will be preceded by an 8:
