KVM switch
A KVM switch (with KVM being an abbreviation for "keyboard, video and mouse") is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple computers from one or more〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Close Look at Modern Keyboard/Video/Mouse Switching )〕 sets of keyboards, video monitors, and mice. Although multiple computers are connected to the KVM, typically a smaller number of computers can be controlled at any given time. Modern devices have also added the ability to share other peripherals like USB devices and audio.
== Etymology ==
Before the mouse became relevant in server switching applications, the term Keyboard Video Switch (KVS) was used to describe keyboard and monitor switching devices.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Keyboard/Video Switch White Paper )〕 With the increased adoption of Microsoft Windows, the mouse and other I/O ports in peripheral switching became prevalent. Remigius Shatas, the founder of Cybex (a popular peripheral switch manufacturer at that time) expanded the initialism to Keyboard, Video and Mouse (KVM) in 1995. At the same time, Universal Serial Bus (USB) began to become the new industry standard for connecting computer peripherals.
As a result of the growing need to switch peripherals (such as touchscreens) in addition to the keyboard, mouse and monitor, some companies are now selling "KVMP" switch devices (standing for keyboard, video, mouse and peripheral).
