In its factory-default state, the ServSwitch Wizard MP allows each CPU to handle
mouse communication any way the CPU wants to. However, some CPUs with
particular rare combinations of operating systems, mice, and mouse drivers can be
abnormally sensitive to small timing changes in mouse communication. These
CPUs can react badly to the presence of older KVM switches related to the Wizard
MP, making persistent timing errors that cause the mouse to seem slow or sluggish.
This has especially been noted to occur while using Logitech mice with some HP
®
Vectra
®
machines running later versions of Windows NT
®
and Logitech mouse
drivers. The Wizard MP is a high-performance device that’s been carefully
engineered to avoid these kinds of problems, and it shouldn’t be susceptible to
them, but it’s not always possible to predict their occurrence.
One way to fix this problem is to change the mouse driver. But if this isn’t an
option, at least in the short term, you can send the Wizard MP the [L][6]
command. This causes the Wizard MP to take a more active role in mouse
communication, ensuring that the CPU won’t have timing problems and keeping
the mouse up to speed.
