Fuck Belkin

So I finally disconnected the aforementioned Belkin KVM Switch. The persistent key problem I spoke of yesterday wasn’t going away, even after I tried a different keyboard (which I had to go out and “rent” from Micro Center). I spoke to a Belkin rep on the phone yesterday and he said that if a different keyboard didn’t fix the problem then I would have to RMA the unit, which eats it. I filled out the RMA request on their website a few minutes ago, but I’m sure I won’t get a response any time soon…

At least my other birthday present works right… It just sucks that I have to manually switch cables between the two machines again for a few weeks while Belkin sends me a replacement. And to be honest, I expect that I will have the same problem with the replacement. When one of your primary applications is Vim, this persistent keypress bug is pretty frustrating…
