Hello everyone, I own a Mac for work and a PC for gaming. I use a KVM switch to connect my hardware—keyboard, mouse, webcam, and mic—to both devices. For the keyboard and mouse, I use wireless Logitech models that connect via USB dongles. I also added a Cololight desktop controller. The issue is that everything functions normally except with the Cololight, which only powers up but isn’t detected by either system. When connected to the PC, my keyboard and mouse keep disconnecting. I think the problem might be insufficient power, though I’m not sure. Also, the HDMI display isn’t linked to the KVM switch; it’s plugged into the PC directly. Anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this?
