USB mouse... Laser?

[the86d]

The KVM I am using has PS/2 x 2 for each source + VGA for video only on the back of the unit and this is really annoying when they work loose because the cables are pretty heavy. Those screw-down type would be better. It is a Trendnet TK-801R FWIW. Other one is a Tripp Lite and has those VGA-like connectors on the KVM.

TRENDnet TK 409K, vga and USB in same 15 pins...

Got it NIB for like $25, off eBay.
Hopefully it'll work w/out issue...

Retail NIB I see is like $44-$59ish.... For this 4 port model.

Laser mouses suck ***, avoid them.

Just buy this and move on with life without worrying about it

Take a chance on a $50+, and be done with it, really?

Really, but he had me at "32-bit ARM Processor: Processor with onboard memory and 1ms report rate".

Logitech usually doesn't disappoint. But, I am about to start another FPS on my lowly wireless MX Master.

What do you mean take a chance? Anyone who knows anything about mouses knows that thing will work great, barring getting a DOA device, which I have never got from Logitech.

EDIT: AND my Unicomp buckling-spring K/Board is also arriving today too!!!

How do you like the Unicomp keyboard? I looked at these in the past but prefer a left-handed num pad.

For KVMs I don't use anything but Startech. Every time I've tried to use some other brand they always end up being a PITA and I wind up buying a Startech anyway.

I got a VicTsing mouse. Probably has a virus built in that is currently spying on every single thing I do on my computer.

I had work buy me one in the past, the Black/grey one w/a PS/2 connector, and still going strong years later.
The place I work was bought by another company, and now I am in a cube rather than an office, but I haven't heard any complaints about the noise, but I am tucked back in a set of 4 cubes against a window, so that probably helps with noise-muffle.

I just plugged this one in on Thurs. or Friday and it works great.
A bit sticky on a few keys out the gate(more of a grind on the way down), but wearing in nicely after 2 days of use (as I just got back from vacation, so only like 2 days of use).

I really like the grey-black look, and I do not like the 104's with menu/"Windows" keys, and stick with the Classic 101, as I know how to hit CTL-ESC and tap ALT.

Unicomp actually bought the Lexmark factory or tooling, as I recall.

Just retired this beast:



The Num-Lock light had been out for like 8 years at least, anyways...

It actually cost me like $112, shipped.

Nice, I like the industrial look. I have a mechanical keyboard addiction and really don't need another one. My favorites are the buckling-spring and old school Apple Alps switches. Maybe if the mouse came first the num pad would have become a left-hand standard.

Best Buy has Logitech g502 for 25bucks. It will last couple years.

There you go. Thats what we give all our CAD guys. Works just fine. I can't remember the last time one actually broke and I've seen some that really should be handled with some kind of bio-hazard suit.

Well as I recall, I played Eye of the Beholder, cocking the keyboard hard left so I could reach the cursor keys with my left hand while mousing with my right..
But Everquest got me using W,A,S,&D.

DON'T GET ME STARTED ON vi keys in command mode...
