In Reply to: Why not just get a switch... posted by Tehrasha on 9, 2001 at 9:40 AM:
Oh I agree with you. In fact I used to use a switch box, I had some problems with it. Sometimes it would not pick up the other mouse or keyboard when i switched, or I would have to flip it a couple of times to get it to work. That 22 dollars is a good price, does that include all the cables for that as well?
: Not to rain on your parade...but..
: ..if you arent using a passthur keyboard/encoder combination, you might as well use a keyboard switch to choose between the hack and the keyboard.
: www.pricewatch.com $22 + $6 SH gets you a switch that does keybooard, mouse, and VGA all in one package.
: Everything you need to go from (control panel / trackball / arcade monitor) to (keyboard, mouse, pc monitor)
: Still looking, but if $22 can get you all three, there has to be a cheaper one for just keyboard.
