I could not find a logical category to put this apparent behemoth of a question in:
Background:
I am moving my desktop rig to the living room, where I will use it as a desktop w/ a 24" FP LCD, but will also run it over to my 42" plasma & theater receiver, via HDMI, for an HTPC.
I would like to be able to use two seperate keyboards & mice: one set for when I'm sitting at the console working, and the other for kicking back on the couch, navigating digital content. Obviously, the couch keyboard/mouse is going to have to be wireless and I've read great things about RF, which makes sense, I'd prefer radio over line-of-sight.
My problem:
How can I have two seperate input devices like keyboards & mice? There's going to be conflict there, I bet, unless the remote is USB and the console is PS/2? I don't know. Anyone have some insight here? I'd be darn grateful!
I don't think I'm looking for anything like a KVM switch, am I? Do they make those for remote devices?
Thanks in advance,
Jay
