[SOLVED] HDMI KVM switch results in loss of keyboard and mouse

I have a Sea Wit 2-port HDMI KVM switch (supports EDID), and at initial startup of my Lenovo T470s laptop everything works perfectly fine. But when I switch to my alternate computer (Samsung laptop running Windows 8.1, and does not experience this issue),
then back I lose keyboard/mouse functionality, display works properly. This is agnostic to whether I use the keyboard hotkey or physical buttons to switch channels. Rebooting, with the Lenovo's channel selected, resolves the issue. Switching KVM channels then
back again loses keyboard/mouse. Since my Windows 8.1 laptop is not experiencing this issue, it would seem to indicate that Windows 10 is somehow the culprit, or possibly something to do with the Lenovo hardware/drivers.

Troubleshooting measures attempted thus far, to no avail:

• update all Lenovo drivers (BIOS, chipset, display, full boat)
• ensure Windows 10 is current with updates
• swap HDMI and USB cables between the 2 KVM channels
• swap KVM channels
• unplug all connections to KVM, plug HDMI/keyboard/mouse out back in, plug Lenovo channel HDMI/USB back in

Once the keyboard/mouse are lost after switching channels, the only way to recover them is to reboot.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

 

Duel Monitor KVM Switch - Keyboard not being recognized on one of the computers

I have a dual monitor KVM switch (PWAY HDMI 2.0 KVM Switch 2 port) that I use to switch between work and my personal computer; both are running Windows 10. I upgraded my keyboard recently from a razor gaming keyboard to the new Steelseries APEX PRO keyboard which utilizes a 3.0 USB vs the Razor gaming keyboard which utilized a 2.0 USB. I upgraded the keyboard as my old Razor keyboard started to have issues with keys sticking/other issues. After plugging in the Steelseries keyboard to the KVM, the keyboard works great on my work computer where I am able to switch back and forth without losing function of the keyboard. However when I switch to my personal computer I loose function of the new keyboard through the KVM switch, the mouse works fine. To get the keyboard to work on my personal computer I have to either plug the keyboard directly into the tower or restart the computer with the KVM selected on the personal computer. However even with the restart, the keyboard works for about a minute then I lose function of the keyboard. Only plugging directly into the tower seems to allow for full use of the keyboard.

I have tried the following:

• Re-arranging the cables leading to the KVM switch
  
• updating all drivers for the keyboard
  
• ensure windows is up to date with all updates.
  
• plugging the KVM input into the 3.0 slot on my tower vs the 2.0 slot on my tower.
  

Any help you can provide is appreciated. Should I just buy an older 2.0 keyboard again?

 

KVM switch USB not reinitializing

I've had the TK-409K KVM switch from Trendnet now for about a year and I don't have to switch between computers very often so I'm not sure when the problem started. I have a Window 10 desktop and a mac laptop hooked into the ports 1 and 2 of the KVM box.
If the switch is set to the Windows computer when the computer boots, the mouse and keyboard and monitor work with no problem. However, if I switch to the mac and then back to the Windows computer, the monitor works but not the mouse and keyboard. I have to
reboot Windows to get the mouse and keyboard to work again. When I switch to the Windows computer, the light on the KVM box never stop blinking. Does anyone have any suggestions?
