Should have remind us of the keyboard layout. If the keyboard layout is not the standard, e.g. Dvorak, the output will look like garbled strings.

Thanks for your comment. We will add a description to the title to remind user this setting is with a standard Windows/US layout, 104-key keyboard.

@@atentechsupportfaqvideos4834 The input too shall be taken into account. For example, when the keyboard layout is Dvorak, it is "hotkey, hotkey, q" to switch ScrLk/Ctrl, not "hotkey, hotkey, x" to switch. The 'q' and 'x' are actually the same PHYSICAL key on keyboard, but Dvorak user might get confused when you're telling them to hit 'x' and it won't work, because it shall be 'q' from the perspective of Dvorak users. By the way, the product is good. Don't why people gave the video thumb down, maybe it is because only people who run into problems would seek for help like this video, and they surely are not happy right now before the problems are gone. I bought a CS692 a couple days ago, and think it works perfectly. One more thing, do you know how to shut it down when the connected computer is turned off? It seems to be a problem of the (old) BIOS of the computer itself, but it would be nice if there is a way that I can do to CS692 to workaround this problem. I have a Intel NUC that can turn off the power supply for USB devices when it gets shutdown, but on the other hand, my old computer does not turn off the power supply for USB devices even when the computer itself is down. In that case, CS692 is still consuming electric power supplied by my old computer. The mouse attached to CS692 is emitting red light beam all night. Is there any way to turn it off without unplugging the devices?

Can this hotkey work for all kvm switches? Thanks

Not to all KVM models, please refer to each model's user manual for exactly hotkeys.
