BEST KVM on the market (updated review)
By M. Amburn
I purchased this to switch between my PC and a new mini Mac.Design:The cords are premium quality and come with velco snaps, which really impressed me. They didn't have to do that (no one else does), and that demonstrates how committed they are to little details. Also, having buttons to switch between computers is essential. I DO NOT recommend any KVM that relies on "hot-keys" whatsoever; I speak from experience. Again, I *STRONGLY* advice against buying any KVM that relies on "hot-keys" rather than providing actual buttons on the unit.USB:The USB on the Mac is immediate; the mouse is active as soon as I switch, which really surprised me. It takes about 5-10 seconds on my PC (Windows XP), but that's acceptable. Also, having the extra USB ports is nice because I can share my USB printer/scanner between both computers.Speaking of which... Every so often, when I switch back to my PC, it decides to "re-recognize" the printer -- you can see the "New Hardware Found" dialogue pop up in the system tray -- which also automatically sets this printer as my default printer. This is HIGHLY annoying, as I don't realize what happened until I send a document to be printed and it starts printing in my color printer. Like I said, this probably has nothing to do with the KVM, just FYI.Video:There is a noticeable difference. It's like the difference between aliased and non-aliased text, i.e. the text is just a bit blurry. You may not notice for lower resolutions like 800x600 or possibly 1024. I was able to change my monitor settings so that the display for one PC was perfect, but then my Mac displays a bit blurry.Conclusion:If crisp video is not essential, this is a great choice. I've tried MANY models, and so far this is the best. And, like I said, since I haven't been able to find a KVM that didn't reduce video quality, I can't really fault this one too much.FYI, I received a black unit even though the Amazon picture is white, which I prefer anyway.

Works Great Including With Wireless Keyboard/Mouse
By A Customer
Works just as expected. Switches quickly among two desktop machines and a laptop (all running WinXP). Each machine takes < 1 min to recognize, same as when plugging in any new USB device. Very durable cables. Was concerned about using wireless keyboard/mouse, but works great with the Microsoft Wireless Desktop, including the multimedia function keys. Version of the switch that I received is black, not white as pictured.

The connectpro USB KVM Switch costs a few dollars more but it really works the first time with no hassles. I've been forced to use cheaper KVM switches at work and Windows XP never seems to play nice with them. I use this one at home with two Linux machines and a desktop and laptop running Windows XP. The switch worked the first time I connected everything together and has worked glitch free ever since.
