Hello!

I have tried two usb "kvm"-switches with my rMBP and MP (2008) and none works that well. For example: the four port usb-switch from iogear (2x4 usb 2.0 switch) works well with the MP but the mouse/keyboard is extremely flakey on the rMBP. The mouse usually works for ~20s then simply freezes. The keyboard may work then but the mouse never "reconnects", even if I switch to the MP and back. The keyboard also freezes sometimes, but not nearly as often as the mouse.

Does anyone know about an usb-switch (with or without monitor support. It's not something I need) that works well with the rMBP?

Gear:
2008 MP
2013 rMBP (13")
Logitech optical trackman trackball
Filco Ninja Majestouch keyboard
