How to Hook Up My 4-Port USB 2.0 KVM Switch

KVM switches are designed to connect multiple computers to a single keyboard, video device and mouse. USB 2.0 KVM switches are configured to use a USB keyboard and mouse instead of the older PS/2 style connection. The most common video device is a computer monitor. You can connect up to four computers to a single keyboard, video device and mouse with a 4-port USB2.0 KVM switch.
