Keyboard Multiplier and KVM set up

[Cernunnos]

A diagram would be helpful. Where is the Xzin diagram you mention? (Or anyone else's that shows this for that matter). I looked around and didn't find it.

The forum link is above, but here's Xzin's diagram and text (cut out of context):

KVM Output 1 will send to all, Output 2 will send to only PC A, 3 to only B and 4 to only C, etc. Use Scrl Lock + 1-8 to nearly instantly select a PC. (I personally use an X-keys Stick for this). Multiple 8 Port VIP-708-KMs can be chained together. The 2 and 4 ports cannot. I believe the limit is 64 units, if you want to pay for that many.

You can use a single 2 port KVM if you wish, to save money. This will NOT let you select individual PCs but it will let you select to chat OR play all 5 at once. Simply setup your keybinds to make it so only your main can run with arrow keys, different classes respond to key presses differently, etc (or just have a common template and drag and drop different spells if you want to cast on all at the same time). 2 Port only is less flexible - 8 port obviously more so. You can skimp with USB keyboards - but you NEED *SOME* method of individual key input - software (synergy) or hardware (dedicated USB keyboard).
