Last updated: Oct 27, 2017

The Ovation keyboard is a complex USB-device, using an extended protocol compared to simple keyboards.
Usually, KVM switches expect to get a standard keyboard or mouse (as it mostly have dedicated USB ports for keyboard, mouse and touchscreen), but not a more complex USB device, therefore the KVM is not decoding the Ovation keyboard datas properly.
For proper operation, the Ovation keyboard requires a universal USB port, that allows any USB device that complies with USB specification to be connect to it.
Therefore when choosing a KVM switch, make sure it has such universal USB port support.

Recommended models :

  • ATEN UCE60  (USB - RJ45 converter, not a full KVM switch)
