I'm looking into doing this myself, but have not as of yet.

Would it be acceptable if there was a switch to select the active device? I'm thinking of trying a design but didn't want to waste time if that wasn't of interest.

: I've seen some ps/2 Y splitters for sale at beyond.com and some other places. I think they are meant for use with laptop/notebook computers. I don't know why you would really need one on a laptop but I was wondering... How well would one of these work on a desktop pc (hooked to basically two keyboards)?

: Anyone that has built the keyboard splitter using Stephan Hans's design: how difficult was it and how much did it cost to build?

: Thanks.
