@yakkoTDI KVMs often seem to be more magic than science.
At work I had a guy tell me that mice with blue LEDs wouldn’t work with his KVM, but red ones did. I figured he was crazy, what difference could the LED color make? Well, he was right. None of the Microsoft Bluetrack mice would work, but older mice worked fine.
I rocked a Dell Quietkey for at least a dozen years. Thing was a tank. Now I’ve got a super fancy mechanical keyboard because I love to hear my wife yell, ‘Why do you type so loud?’
Never really understood why my parent’s keyboards had issues with key caps going blank. They used theirs way less than I did mine and I’ve never had an issue…
On a related topic I have one computer that no longer likes using the keyboard through a KVM switch.

Okay, that took me a minute.

This. Always This.

@chienfou Cheap keyboard with printed or decal labels, instead of molded?
