Fiddle and Tweak
For SVKMS2. I am running an i7 and i5 side by side. Both with Win 10 and both with same resolution monitors. Also, I shut down both computers every night.

Upgrade failed
I've had this for a couple years. Recently got a new mac 10.14.6 but when I tried to upgrade, the cable stoped working completely. Is there a way to reInitialize from scratch ????

Not intuitive. Instructions get Martian at just the wrong motion. Eventually, if you label your machines correctly, you notice the cursor moves from one computers' monitor to the other. Then it gets easier, though it should be considerably better all the way around. A step above ASCII.

Works flawlessly most of time
Been using for over 6 months, between a windows 10 machine and a mac mini. Works 90% of the time. The mouse gets stuck at times and will not switch. Keyboard works on both machines but caps lock and num lock do not work correctly as you switch machines.
