Hi! I just bought MLK Wireless Keyboard MK0626WC and my receiver is a single USB connector. It would be no problem except I am using a KVM Switch to navigate between 2 of my computers and my KVM Switch only supports PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse (seperate ports). I want to use this keyboard but if I use a USB - PS/2 convertor, it can only connect in 1 PS/2 port as I have only 1 USB connector and it recognizes my keyboard only (I connected it in the keyboard PS/2). Can anyone suggest a suitable KVM Switch or a cable I could use to use my single USB connector to use the keyboard and mouse? I looked for KVM Switch that operates in USB but it requires 2 seperate USB inputs (1 for keyboard and 1 for mouse). I only have 1 USB connector from my receiver.
