Anyone ever seen a PS2 "Y" Splitter that

We'll do. I have one other crap shoot thing that I'm going to try....

Btw- I think you are right about the resistors. The cable works fine when plugged in to only one KVM.

If anyone knows what size of resistor I would need to solder onto each connection, please let me know!

Sorry, not an electrical engineer.

You know what, go make a project thread at Bit-tech.net. Someone there can probably help you with this.

Hey, if you make another, make the cables as short as you can. I'm worried about cable capacitance, because keyboards are analogue. Edit: Also, try connecting the ground line, should be black, to a hard grounds, like a computer case.

Also, if you have a multimeter, can you check if the voltage spikes when you switch the KVM?

Man, thanks for all your help with this...

BUT, I'm going to take a brake on this for awhile. I've lost a little of my ambition!

(my other idea was to try a different brand KVM -a simple IO gear just to switch the 2nd monitor. Didn't really help much but I thought it was worth a try...)

Alright, sure. I'm frankly just curious if you can get it to work.

I have a feeling that adding resistors might really be the ticket. I'm no Engineer either, but everything seems to point to interference being transferred between the KVM's and then the keyboard signal get garbled. I might revisit the whole thing again next week or sometime....
