It works well with an old Logitech wireless mouse, but throws up on a
new one :-(

What model is it? Not that I think this will help, really, I'm just curious.
:-)




Old mouse is Logitech LX-7, I think, no markings, and going on the
basis of pictures on the website.

New mouse V220

Both are USB wireless.

KVM is IOGear GCS124U

IOGear tells me that a GCS104U will work, since it does not utilize
"emulation", but it also doesn't have hot-key switching, got to press
the button.

I think IOGear is clueless about direct wire preventing hot-key
control. I built a KV switch back in early DOS days for my son, who
was managing a paging system at the time. I just captured keystrokes
down a 74HC shift register chain, and did a broad-side match, and
tossed those foreign to the PC before they got to it ;-)


I bought an LX-something (no markings either) at Costco a few months
ago, seen it again later and they may still have some. In case you just
want to replace it. Works like a champ BTW.


I'm just about resigned to it, though I sure like these small
"palmable" mice ;-)


This LX-whatever I've got here is IMHO quite "palmable". Depends on your
paw size but I guess they won't be smaller than mine ;-)

The cursor is a bit more nervous than on regular mice (but all my others
are non-optical and wired). AFAIR it was under $20 at Costco. But a bear
to get out of a humongous molded-together plastic package. Those
packages must be an environmental nightmare.
