Ah this is good to know! Would it be the same for like Logitech's wired
optical mice and the KVM? Would I lose some of the features with that
like the thumb button? This is really crazy. I really need a good mouse
because my hand is giving me a lot of trouble. Guess I'll have to work
out something good even if it's bypassing the KVM which would really
suck.
