On Windows, it works (almost) fine by setting iCUE to read input every 8ms (125hz) instead of the default 1ms (1000hz). In the rare case it didn't seem to work, connecting the second port directly to the PC made it work. This setup could not be made default because it stops the KVM from working at all when I switch between computers. I even considered adding a USB power supply and plug the secondary USB port to it. Probably a HUB (even a monitor with built-in hub) is a better idea. | |
