Just bought a new Logitech keyboard, plugged it into my KVM, switched everything on and only then did I notice that the keyboard does not have a scroll-lock button anymore which is the hot-key for switching over from one PC to another. Anyone know a way round this? Whichever bum-scratching monkey at Logitech thought it was clever to drop the scroll-lock leaving kvm users high and dry, needs to be shown the door. I used to like Logitech but after this I won't buy another logitech product again.

This might help http://code.google.com/p/keymapper/downloads/list
Easy to use but will have to be installed on each of the pcs (hope they are all windows)
It needs Net framework 2 to work

Cheers Chris

Thanks Maygood!   

I would need to install this on 4 different OS's on 2 machines and it would only work after each OS had fully booted - it's a nuisance but I don't suppose there's any alternative other than binning the keyboard.

Thats a shame!
I bought there wave keyboard and noticed it had no scroll lock button. Actually I think they do have it but you have to function key + Pause/Break button.

However I had trouble as it meant I couldn't use it pictures/speak in Xfire
