So let me get this straight: You're using a Mac keyboard on a KVM to
work on both a Mac and a PC? Right?
The problem may not lie with the mouse so much as the keyboard. Or,
alternately, you may have to load the mouse software on the PC and
configure it on the PC they way you want it. The later is probably the
case.
I've done that successfully with a Microsoftie IntelliMouse and a
Microsoftie Internet Keyboard. Both work like a charm. In fact, I really
like the mouse. But I keep telling myself it's the spawn of the devil. :-)
