Control up to four computers with a single keyboard and mouse with the 4-Port USB Boundless KM Switch from ATEN. Two switches can be daisy chained to enable control of up to eight computers from a single console. Port selection methods include front-panel pushbuttons, keyboard hotkeys, mouse cursor, mouse wheel, and RS-232 commands. The mouse cursor method uses Boundless Switching technology, which provides an intuitive way to switch control to another computer by simply moving your mouse cursor across a screen border and onto the target computer display.
The CS724KM's Boundless Switching function supports extended desktops with up to four monitors (one per computer), and up to eight monitors when two switches are daisy chained, speeding up switching between computers. In addition to making multitasking across multiple displays more efficient, this function is especially useful in emergencies that call for immediate monitoring and management of computers.
The CS724KM also provides an intuitive GUI-based configuration utility that allows users to customize their mouse cursor movement paths according to the specific monitor layout at the desktop or workstation. The configuration tool is easy to set up and compatible with Windows operating systems. Further advanced features of the CS724KM include bus power mode for operation without an external power adapter, as well as independent switching of the keyboard/mouse, USB peripheral, and audio focus via hotkeys.
