Bump..wow, 5 days and nothing.

Can anybody recommend a black wireless keyboard that is capable of working with a KVM switch and Windows 7?

It depends on your keyboard and your KVM switch - there's no guarantee it'll work. I have an iogear DVI USB KVM switch and the Logitech MK300 wireless desktop works perfectly. I liked that set I bought it's replacement the MK320 thinking it would work, but it doesn't the keyboard and mouse don't detect, but it works perfectly fine on a different iogear KVM switch. Also, none of Logitech's new "unified" keyboard and mice seem to work on any of my KVM switches.

I have a microsoft wireless 800, works OK with a computer, was a backup...

Not sure that it would work with a KVM.

What KVM switch you got? Or are you buying that too?

Basically, there are 3 types of USB KVM switch technologies in the market now.
1. Enumerated USB switch (hub structure, simple and cheap)
2. Emulated USB switch (hot-key control, but bad in compatibility)
3. Full DDM (Dynamic Device Mapping) USB switch, (best, hot-key control, no USB enumeration required, fastest switching, no compatibility issue, but expensive)

Google "USB DDM KVM switch", you can find more information.
