When Broadcasting keystrokes, the keyboard state must be identical for all
servers receiving a broadcast to interpret keystrokes identically. Specifi-
cally, the Caps Lock and Num Lock modes must be the same on all key-
boards. While the appliance attempts to send keystrokes to the selected
servers simultaneously, some servers may inhibit and thereby delay the
transmission.
For the mouse to work accurately when broadcasting mouse movements,
all systems must have identical mouse drivers, desktops (such as identically
placed icons) and video resolutions. In addition, the mouse must be in ex-
actly the same place on all screens. Because these conditions are extremely
difficult to achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple systems may
have unpredictable results.
