hmmm ... I have the electronic from LinkSys -- $54 at Buy.com,
WITH cables, when I bought it. Remember to quote apples to
apples when you shop -- it seems to be cheaper to buy a set
with the proper cables ...
I solve the mouse issue by not using the mouse part -- I have
two mice (30button illuminated for Linux, two button MS
House shaped for Win'95), and switch by touch without taking
my eyes off the screen
I tap-tap Ctrl, and it switches; the 4 port ones, you tap-tap
Ctrl then {A|B|C|D} ... and it switches...
And this is a real benefit -- I had the mechanical rotary
type, and it was much more disruptive. Electronic holds
keyboard detection through reboots, too.
