I-PAC shift function vs. KeyWiz Shazaam Function for Howard C.

[_Iz-]

This

is the one for laptops. It allows 1 mouse and 1 keyboard on a single ps/2 port. You HAVE to use 1 of each.

The other link I provided is different. It allows either 2 keyboards OR 2 mice to share 1 port but NOT 1 of each.

I think the laptop splitters are definitely designed differently than what you would need, they probably need a suitably wired ps/2 port and take advantage of the 2 "reserved" pins in the p/s port.

How about this though?

Wouldn't this work for 2 ps/2 keyboards? I don't think I'd want to use them both simultaneously but who does on an arcade cabinet, you use either the controls or the keyboard...

Has anyone actually tested the adapter mentioned above.  Basically, does it work and do the LED indicators on both keyboards function correctly???  I am interested in one, but they want $7 shipping on top of the $7 price, which is a lot to throw away if it doesn't work.
