the keywiz max or the keywiz qd...

the max has the switchable keyboard interface...the qd doesn't...is the switchable keyboard interface really that important...?

Randy will have to answer this one as to why the QD doesn't have a switchable KB.  Looking at the QD image there is no input for a keyboard.  From the looks of it you will have to use a USB keyboard if you require one in your setup if you use the QD.

There should be no difference here.  The LEDWiz has a separate connection to the computer (USB) and has no conflict because it is output not input.  If you need additional inputs you can get a GPWiz to work along side the KeyWiz.

Most of the time it's probably better to avoid hot swapping PS/2 devices. I have a few motherboards lying around that are really fussy about hot-swapping on the PS/2 port.

Strange, given the original intent of the port, you would think hot swapping would've been incorporated. Oh well.  :dunno
Tiger-Heli:
Probably should have added the standard "Hot-swapping PS/2" disclaimer, although it's NEVER given me any issues.
Kaytrim:
I've had computers lock up when trying to 'hot swap' a ps/2 port device.  That is why I always power down the PC prior to changing out a ps/2 keyboard or mouse.

Yeah - I've seen computers lock up when "hot-swapping" a ps/2 port. Doesn't stop me from still doing it on work computers - usually it's fine...

 ;D

However, for my home setup, I went with GP-Wiz encoders. USB is definitely the safer hot-swap option...
