Single keyboard - multiple machines --any such animal
Hi there
I'd really love a keyboard that had say 4 buttons on it --like Fn buttons that would switch output to any one of 4 machines -- such a simple idea but why nobody hasn't yet got one out on the market I can't understand it
I'm really FED up with messing around with two / 3 physical keyboards and I don't want a USB switch box on my desk.
All the keyboard would need is 4 USB outs (or 4 receivers for wireless) the active connection being made by a key press on the keyboard. In fact the only difficulty would be the right receiver for the wireless transmitter but that is easily solved by say a different colour key on the keyboard and an id (same colour) on the receiver.
I'm sure some of you testing several machines on a workbench have faced similar problems of multiple keyboards.
Any budding entrepreneurs out there --I'm sure loads of you have felt a need for this type of keyboard. Maybe there is one - but not seen at all !!.
Any engineers -- any idea how I could even consruct one --I'm quite handy with a Soldering Iron etc.
Cheers
