Does anyone have experience using a wireless keyboard and mouse with a 2 port USB KVM switch?  I am thinking about upgrading my 2 port KVM switch from the PS/2 type to the USB type.  While I am at it, I would like to also upgrade to a wireless keyboard and mouse.  (Just trying to reduce the spagetti.)  I am concerned that the KVM switch may not understand the wireless keyboard signaling for control sequencing (CTRL+CTRL, for example) to change workstations.

"Wireless" KVM is about 2 years old and available from several manufacturers - Logitech I think is one.  Before going all wireless I would suggest using your Internet search engine du jour (Google, Yahoo, whatever) and do a little sluthing with just a simple query for - wireless kvm - .  Also, consider getting the gear at a reputable computer store.  If it won't work, you can take it back for a refund.  For that matter, I think that I saw a Logitech at Wal-mart as well as a wireless mouse and keyboard bundle.
