Testing I did: - Turned console off and on again several times, never got "Demo" Mode - Starting with different modes on the KVM Switch (green/orange) - Tried plugging in both male USB plugs into my computer (other device on the Belkin KVM Switch) Testing I have not yet completed: - Using a USB Hub on the back of the XBox 360 for both USB plugs on the KVM Switch - Starting in different modes on the KVM Switch (green/orange) with the USB Hub If it works for you, say so! I want to know. It worked for me, so there is no reason why it won't work for you to! Okay I have found a solution (it worked for me, not sure if its 100% going to work all the time).

1) Turn off the XBox 360
2) Plug the two male USB’s found on th Belkin KVM Switch into the XBox 360 (yes I know thats a pain, but it works)
3) Done :D It should now work!

Testing I did:
- Turned console off and on again several times, never got “Demo” Mode
- Starting with different modes on the KVM Switch (green/orange)
- Tried plugging in both male USB plugs into my computer (other device on the Belkin KVM Switch)

Testing I have not yet completed:

If it works for you, say so! I want to know. It worked for me, so there is no reason why it won’t work for you to!

The big problem seemed to be that the Xbox 360 only scans for usb peripherals on startup. So if it doesn't see it right away, it won't use it while the switch itself had its own ideas about which computer was active. In the end, it was just too much trouble.
