kyfire Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I could very well be wrong (and have faith that if I am, someone will correct me ) but I don't think you can use a KVM with a laptop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro_dude15 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 i dont see why you couldnt, if you can plug external mouse and keyboard to a laptop, and have vga or even hdmi out, you should definitely be able to use a kvm switch on a laptop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteroduck Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Well i believe you can. On the Belkin KVM, it has a picture of a laptop and a computer hooked together :x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I have owned a few cheap ones that worked great for my old folding farm, and had 1 belkin I believe at work that was in service for 5 or 6 years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishop245 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I have used that one I think but mine was an older version and it worked great my 4 port was ps2 and I believe it was also iogear and it also worked great for the years it was used. I have a belkin at work that my boss used for about 5 years and I took out of service while it was still working and thought about using it at my desk but I have wireless keyboards and mice on both work comp.
