Can this be used with a wireless mouse and keyboard?

I'm using a d-link KVM and it is kinda sucky. Most of the time it doesn't seem to support my mouse's scroll wheel, and sometimes it doesn't find the mouse when it switches, and it's just not very smooth going with it.

I used my 2-port IoGear with a Logitech wireless keyboard and Logitech Optical wireless mouse (2 separate receivers). Worked fine. I now have a 4-port KVM setup (non-IoGear) that works fine with the same mouse and keyboard. I gave the IoGear KVM to my sister who uses it with her wireless keyboard/mouse. Works fine also.

I formerly had a Linksys proconnect that died, it's now discontinued. It was perfect for my needs, maybe this one can do it too.

Does the KVM have a switch over button or work by keyboard hot key?

Does the unit beep when it switches over?

Does it switch back and forth pretty quickly?

I used to run two boxes on an MMORPG, so fast silent pushbutton was the key, so I could swap back and forth rapidly without beeps.
