Aha okey, sometimes they don't work for me. Strange.

Okey, no help in chaning the mice for you either.

Well it would be near impossible for me to have 4x keyboards,mice and 
21" monitors. But then again I might get a switch just for keyboard and 
monitor, save space anyway.

I guess you don't know, mine is LevelOne. Perhaps I should buy something 
more expensive. I think that I would be worth it, the price with cables 
for me was about 106 $. Perhaps It could be some interfarence that 
causes this problem.
