That was no good, made my eyes look like this :shock:

I understand how you are using the KM --> Y-Mouse --> Broadcaster though I might PM you on that to try understand it a little more and to double check I'm ordering the right hardware.
Just give me a day or two. I have this covered on my write up, on what it looks like. Have faith

My other question is does your main PC run a higher resolution - or say widescreen vs your clones which are running 4:3 aspect ratio? Does this ever cause any issues?

For Keystrokes not at all. For the mouse yes that would be a problem. I never use the mouse on my Alt PCS, just my machine one. One Keyboard to rule them all! :Evil laugh.

I was thinking of doing the 1 Wireless Mouse to 4x Recievers - and then maybe a seperate mouse to just KVM switch a basic usb or ps/2 mouse to whichever pc needed to be manually 'moused' on.
Great idea, that's what I do.

I am thinking I want to go for as much of a hardware solution as possible vs software - in case of OS compatibility issues and for simple ease of use I guess.

I can't speak of software because i've never tried it. But from a hardware point view I can say its painless once you set it up.

My gf is going to have some questsions when I turn our study into a Nasa Control Center hehe.
haha!

Is it OK if I PM you a list of hardware that you could check over for me Xzin?

Post it here, that’s what were for =). I can't imagine how many messages he gets but it must be over whelming. He must get beaten like a redheaded step child with requests.


Edit: Work has been busy as heck lately. It always is this time of the year. On that note I must get going, but as things get back to normal I'll basically live here once again.
