OK so before everyone starts telling me to use USB Keyboard and mouse, here goes:
When a corporation loans a computer to a consultant, their strict security measures come with said computer. My wife is in such a situation, with the corporate laptop not accepting any "usb hubs" because they constitute "a network". Understandable.
She still needs to use a KVM, so it has to be PS/2.
Now I've been trying to get her a good (mechanical) keyboard that fits into the PS/2 power envelope, as well as a mouse. Not easy, since there is zero info on any USB peripherals' power usage. The only viable option being to go to brick-and-mortar stores and actually test out my own KVM with their local hardware, to try and see what works. This is difficult to do for reasons outside the scope of this message.
I'm sure someone out here has been through this type of situation, and discovered something?
