Originally created by @salvadorAnt on GitHub (May 16, 2025).

Recently, I installed a JetKVM and it works perfectly when plugged directly into the host, but the keyboard does not function when plugged into a TESmart KVM switch, and with a keyboard logitech and monitor, the switch also works.
The Switch don't recive any char nor mouse pointer moves...
Can I do make any mod in jetkvm config to solve the problem?

When you configure only the keyboard in the hardware section (usb device classes in the composite device), the switch work ok, only with keyboard....
I have a usb keyboard with the id 046d:c52b that is the same that when you chose Logitech keyboard in the jetkvm, and the switch works ok with that keyboard and touchpad (all in one).
I have installed the version: app: 0.3.9 and System: 0.2.4

I also bought one of those cheap 2-port HDMI switches with an AX068002 chip. Unfortunately this chip only supports USB mouse and keyboard. That's why, the USB storage of the JetKVM doesnt work.

I got my JetKVM today, plugged it into my tesmart 8 port KVM switch, keyboard didn't work in the keyboard usb ports. but if i plugged in into USB2.0 ports it works fine..

Cannot get hotkeys to work, but as a temp solution use the Windows App to control the switch..

If you disable the mass storage so it only emulates the input devices, it should work on the keyboard port, but you wont be able to mount any iso through that port then.

For switching I wired up an ESP8266 to remotely switch the input device.
