Fiddle and Tweak

For SVKMS2. I am running an i7 and i5 side by side. Both with Win 10 and both with same resolution monitors. Also, I shut down both computers every night. When I reboot the next morning, the 'master' red icon shows up in the task bar but not on the 'slave' computer. Reinserting the 'slave' usb fixed that. Also going from the primary to the secondary monitor worked but going back to the primary monitor required me to click the scroll button each time. Final solution was to plug the secondary usb into a 3.0 port and leave the primary in the usb 2.0 port. That solved everything, including being able to easily switch between monitors or transfers files. Great product!

Ultimately, It Works

Not intuitive. Instructions get Martian at just the wrong motion. Eventually, if you label your machines correctly, you notice the cursor moves from one computers' monitor to the other. Then it gets easier, though it should be considerably better all the way around. A step above ASCII.
