Multiple Wireless Keyboard & Mouse kits

paulgrogan.eu

Hi guys,

I am wondering if anyone on here has any experience running similar wireless keyboard and mouse sets in close proximity to each other?

I would like to run 3 sets of Trusts Keyboard and Mouse sets within 1 foot of each other in an office and I am concerned as to whether or not they will interfere with each other?

The set in question is here: http://trust.com/en/all-products/16593-wireless-keyboard-with-mouse

Any advice or experience would be much appreciated.

Paul.

should be ok,if not use wired ones

I would go with a brand that will allow you to configure different channels.

I think that particular keyboard has no CAPS LOCK indicator light which can be a real pain.

Have you tried synergy? I run it on 3 pcs at work but only need one keyboard and mouse. I keep wired ones under the desk for the odd time I need to restart.

Hi Mate,

Thanks for that. I actually need to run 3 individual work stations for 3 individual people but space is tight enough so if I can cut down on wires etc and general clutter on the desk it looks better. Otherwise I would just go right ahead and get wired models!

Cheers for the tip though, might look at that software for something else.

Are you aware of many brands allowing you to do this?

I thought that perhaps if I kept pressing the pair button it might switch to a different channel each time perhaps?

Cheers

PS: Anyone got any preferred brands of sets out there or experience with the above? Thanks!:)

Would a KWM switch not be what you are looking for?

Have a read of this:

Maybe cheaper keyboards will do the job but my concern would be crosstalk between keyboards and security.
