Whereas Microsoft mice and Microsoft keyboards were previously controlled from two separate programs – IntelliPoint and IntelliType – the Mouse and Keyboard Center is responsible for both kinds of devices. 32- and 64-bit versions of the software are available, and the program integrates with Windows 8 and above's "Modern UI" interface.
The earliest name was Keyboard Video Switch (KVS). [2] With the advent of the mouse, the Keyboard, Video and Mouse (KVM) switch became popular. The name was introduced by Remigius Shatas, the founder of Cybex (now Vertiv), a peripheral switch manufacturer, in 1995. [3] Some companies call their switches Keyboard, Video, Mouse and Peripheral (KVMP).
Windows Vista drops support for the Direct Cable Connection feature [2] as Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth have become ubiquitous on newer generation computers.

Wireless Hosted Network capabilities: The Windows 7 wireless LAN service supports two new functions – Virtual Wi-Fi, that allows a single wireless network adapter to act like two client devices, [103] or a software-based wireless access point (SoftAP) to act as both a wireless hotspot in infrastructure mode and a wireless client at the same ...
A USB-C "travel dock" was released at the same time as Surface Dock 2 with lower power usage and five ports: Ethernet, HDMI, VGA, USB-A and USB-C (charging limited to 12W.) Unlike the Surface Docks, the Travel Hub connects to Surface Devices with USB-C ports including the Surface Pro 7, Surface Book 2, Surface Go, Surface Laptop Go, Surface ...
An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly. It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type, e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers ) or two switches to each other.
