For instance, this:
One of the next low-budget tangents I plan on going on, is to get a few KVM switches. They're incredibly cheap when they include VGA ports in addition to the USB. I mostly don't use VGA for my video because it sears my eyes a lot quicker than the days of old. So this project has nothing to do with a need to switch video, just 3 or 4 USB 2.0 lines but an audio jack would be pretty cool..
So you'd think there would be some $1 adapter that connects the VGA pins to a USB jack, so when you switch it's another routing for the USB or even more than that, add audio or SPDIF with that many pins. I'm quite sure it's a Friday night soldering project but Grasshopper is here to ask Master (with soundtrack no less) if you've done that or what?
My motive is party to grab switches that might be wasted just because not many people use VGA and also I've got some HDMI switches already, and quite frankly wonder the same thing, if there are breakout boxes to have 4 USB lines switchable over like that. I'd go that route as well.
Just need some adapters, cheap little pinout-friendly adapters?
