* Orion KVM standard devices with USB-HID connectors support the extension of the keyboard and mouse ONLY;
use with other HID devices (Human Interface Device) such as touch screens, graphics tablets, barcode readers or
similar USB devices may be successful – but there is no guarantee for this! The Orion™ KVM standard device is
NOT suitable for use with other USB devices such as scanners, web-cams, data sticks etc.
Orion KVM standard devices support only two USB devices simultaneously, keyboard and mouse or keyboard and
touch-screen, etc. but not keyboard, mouse and touch-screen simultaneously. You can extend by a USB hub but
this does not raise the number of supported devices.
