What is KM?

There are many cases where one computer user needs to work
simultaneously with few computers. In some cases users are having
multiple displays attached to these multiple computers. The
challenge is how a single user can interact with multiple computers
having multiple displays. KMs would not do a good job for these users
as they were designed to switch displays as well.
KM switch is a device that switches a single set of keyboard and
mouse between multiple computers. KM switch is essentially a KM
switch without the video switching - all displays are continuously
connected to their respective computers.
