Hmmm. The two port version I use here at work just screws up the mouse
when I use the scroll-lock toggle command. Even pushing the button on the
face of the KVM kills the mouse over half the time. As a result, I've got
two mice on the desktop. I really hope that Belkin isn't going with the
scroll-lock command sequence on all their new stuff. The one I have at
home is also daisy-chainable, but that just increases the console number
you can use - no need to specify a port.
