Question 1

Can I use a  wireless USB dongle with this switch so I don't have to use a iwred usb keyboard or mouse ?

Accepted Answer

yes, but not as you'd expect.  Here is my experience with two devices:
- Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard
- Logitech Performance MX mouse

Neither device works when plugged into the mouse/keyboard USB ports.  Both have to be plugged into the USB ports that are switched between devices.  This means that you computer will see a plug/unplug event when switching to/from.  This is not any issue with my setup nor is losing the standard USB ports that are switched to the computers.

Question 2

I want to connect 2 computers to same 2 monitors. 1 is personal computer and 1 is work computer.  HDMI cables from computer 1 and HDMI and VGA from computer 2.  What do I need?

thank you, Michael

I don't see an HDMI solution.

Look up IOGEAR GCS1642

Use HDMI/DVI cables and a VGA/HDMI cable.

Hope that helps!
