KVM Switch

Do you guys know if this KVM switch would work with a 360? I'm not sure because you have to use the keyboard to switch. I was wondering if you could just hook up the keyboard to the computer and leave the other cable unpluged would I still be able to switch between them with the keyboard if it wasn't hooked to the 360?

It may work. Not 100% sure. I'd get a manual switch KVM just to be safe.

Thats what I would get but I can't find one around here. The only way I could get one is over the internet and I don't really want to do that.

Well if it's through a local store, ask them if you can try it and if it's no good can you bring it back for a refund or get them to order another type for you.

i have a similar kvm switch, only difference is mine is by belkin. i can tell u that it wont work unless ur purchase a ps2 to usb convertor. the reason for this is because there are 2 ports on that kbm switch that both needs to be pwered by ps2. as u probably worked out the xbox has no ps2 connectors so an easy solution is to get a ps2 to usb convertor. that is how i have mine. works gr8

this is the kvm i have

Have you had any problems with yours. I have looked at the belkins but there was tons of people that said that it just stoped working after a month or two so I'm not gonna get one of those. This one will work won't it? If it will then I will just order it although I don't want to wait a week to get it. I can't find any stores around me that have any that will work so I guess I will have to order one.
