He means that they get around the "with hardware" requirement by selling it with some hardware, sometimes a single screw.
The "OEM" is some silly rule to justify the pricing. Don't worry about it at all. The mouse is identical.

You'll be fine.
Thanks. Is the photo accurate in that cables are not included?
I received the switch and it seems to be a sturdy one. I noticed that the USB interface is only 1.1 on the 2-port model that I have, whereas the similar 4-port model has USB 2.0. Does it make a difference or are the HIDs natively 1.1 in any case?

Mouse and keyboard make no difference. CD-ROM and other devices will work as well, but much slower.

I hate it when she does that.
I'm thinking it is gender neutral.

Ah. We were giving them names and nationalities, I thought gender was fair game. I don't know the rules yet. ;-)
I was making a joke about the brand name.

I know. I was making a joke about your tendency to humanize your components.
I read back a bit and I can't find where you said what was going wrong?
Anyway my USB mouse works better if you plug it into the USB hub portion rather than the intended mouse port. That way you get the special buttons etc to work as you are switching a USB device instead of a super generic HID mouse. Can load you enhanced mouse drivers and stuff that way too.

Oh right that is a little annoying. Especially on old XP machines and the way they don't refresh the DVI display discovery info after boot, ever. Win7 rediscovers the display after login so if you are ever on the wrong display at boot time and boot up in super basic default resolution just continue to log in and it will fix itself after a second, effectively makes it a non issue.
See there are legitimate reasons to move on from XP, actually the first time I updated my video driver in 7 and realized it didn't need a reboot about floored me. Took me right back to the first days where you could change your IP without a reboot in windows.

I'm not having difficulty with the video changing and I don't think the OS is involved. When both PCs are off the switch remains wherever it was last (1 or 2). Let's say it is #1 for example. The issue is that when computer #2 is booted the switch stays at#1 and must be changed manually to #2. One would expects the switch to automatically choose the computer that is powered on. It is just an annoyance.

The R.A.T. 9 is wireless. I dislike wireless, it isn't fast enough, is too heavy, and worrying about batteries sucks.
