A new KVM switch.
The olde one suddenly and unexpectedly spent some time flashing, before turning completely dark. refusing to switch between, even connect to my computers.
So I had to get a new one.
Configuring said device was a bit of a hassle. Initially the mouse stopped working after a couple of minutes. And (Stardock) multiplicity stopped reacting after a while. Turned connecting my wireless mouse dongle to the mouse input slot failed. However, I eventually discovered plugging it into the general USB slot of said KVM did the trick. And multiplicity is my friend again.
Switching PC's from the keyboard seems not to be working, but that wasn't entirely unexpected. It's a Logitech thing and Logitech doesn't officially support KVM's (at least didn't last time I checked). Same problem with the olde KVM. Other keyboard functions, like typing does work, fortunately. And there is an easily accessible button on the front of the KVMe.
