Peripheral Emulation (SW4 USB Plus Only)
In addition, the SW4 USB Plus emulates a mouse and keyboard to the computer or other
input device that is connected to the selected input port. This emulation of peripheral
devices is constant, whether or not a keyboard or mouse is actually connected to the ports,
facilitating problem-free boot-up. Keyboard and mouse emulation is always present on the
inputs of the switcher.
