FYI.....I was able to get the MX Duo to work with the IO Gear model GC632U 2 port usb kvm. I am also able to use all the hotkeys and special mouse features once I install the logitech drivers.

how do connect both the conections from the mx duo to this KVM? one connection is a USB, but the other is a PS/2, is there a PS/2 to USB adapter that is needed?

I didn't use the PS/2 just plugged only the usb connection and it worked

oh, well thats neat, I didnt know that the USB one from the cradle handled both mouse and keyboard

Anymore updates on this?

I just bought the MX Duo and plugged it into my Omni Port Belkin 4 port KVM. The machine boots up fine, but if I transfer to another machine and come back, the mouse has stopped working. Ironically, I was using one of the oldest logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combos (had it for 5 + years) with the KVM with no problems. The mouse has started to act a little finicky recently.

From what I gather, if I use a USB KVM, then I should be able to continue using the MX Duo? Is this consistent with people's experiences?

I'm looking at this KVM right now:

Anyone have any experience with it?

I also just received a IO Gear model GC632U 2 port usb kvm and it works great with my MX Duo. The Linksys kvm I had before didn't.

I have used MX duo with Belkin 2 port with no problems. The thing to watch is distance between computer boxes to the cradle receiver. Too close and I am getting erratic performance. Monitors don't seem to affect this.
