i bought one of these a good few months ago and at first it didnt work ut after i reformatted my computer it now works fine. there is only one question i have and this is.

Are KVM switches harmful to your computer's?


the reason i ask is that everytime i go to change from one computer to another it makes the sound of when you take a usb pen out improperly. so could i be harming my computer using this? it sounds unhealthy. :confused:
 
Well, it shouldn't be that much of a problem, otherwise they wouldn't sell them... :P Seriously, though, it's probably because it has an active connection to the mouse/keyboard and so is having that connection severed while using that... It would be harmful to data on a USB key, but not to a mouse or keyboard...
 
thanks man. it just sounded like it was doing more harm than good but i have to admit that it is really handy and that im glad that i have one! its all good though!
