NOTE: Broadcasting keystrokes: When using keystrokes, the keyboard state
must be identical for all servers receiving a broadcast for the keystrokes to be
interpreted identically. Specifically, the <Caps Lock> and <Num Lock> modes
must be the same on all keyboards. While the iKVM attempts to send
keystrokes to the selected servers simultaneously, some servers may inhibit
and thereby delay the transmission.
NOTE: Broadcasting mouse movements: For the mouse to work accurately,
all servers must have identical mouse drivers, desktops (such as identically
placed icons), and video resolutions. The mouse also must be in exactly the
same place on all screens. Because these conditions are extremely difficult to
achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple servers may have
unpredictable results.
