| 358582 | 2005-05-26 03:53:00 | I am ignorant on this, but could someone tell me, if one gets a wireless keyboard and mouse, how do they connect with the computer? Do they need a special card to go inside the computer, and if so does the one card do for both devices? Thanks :o |

| 358583 | 2005-05-26 03:55:00 | They have a reciever, It either plugs into the usual keyboard/mouse ports or a usb slot. | Metla (12) | ||
| 358584 | 2005-05-26 03:59:00 | Thanks Metla, that was quick. They will each have a different receiver won't they? |

| 358586 | 2005-05-26 04:01:00 | If purchased seperatly, If you buy a mouse and KB combo they use the one reciever ....at least all of them that i have handled done so. | Metla (12) | ||
| 358587 | 2005-05-26 04:16:00 | Yes - I am thinking of running two computers side by side with the same keyboard and mouse. So far I have had good advice from PressF1 on how to do that for non-wireless, but how would one do it if the keyboard and mouse were wireles? One could plug receivers into both the computers, but how would the computers know which one I wanted to use? Or could one plug the receiver into the KVM switch? That would be the way to do it, I suppose. Thanks |

| 358588 | 2005-05-26 05:02:00 | As long as the software's installed on both PCs I don't see why plugging it into the KVM wouldn't work - especially if you use a USB KVM. Of course, I haven't actually tried it .... | Biggles (121) | ||
| 358589 | 2005-05-26 05:04:00 | Which software? Wireless Keyboards and mouses don't require any.... |

| 358590 | 2005-05-26 05:24:00 | You would need a second reciever for the second PC, other than that it would be easy. You may be able to buy a keyboard and a mouse seperatly and get two recievers, you would need the same brand and have to check first that both recievers will connect to bothe keyboard and mouse. |
