I know a lot of people use KVMs and basically they all do the main job of transfering between multiple computers all on to one screen,keyboard, and mouse. But I needed something with higher quality build and for heavy duty use.

Pros:

• Quality of video is very high.
• Up to Four Computers
• DVI input and output
• USB connection not Keyboard and Mouse to the computer(I like this)
• You can switch sound from one computer and screen output from another. You can listen to sound from one computer and work on another computer.
• The Items connected by USB to the KVM will switch to the computer active on the screen.
• It comes with 4 KVM cables so you dont need to buy anything extra unlike other KVMs.
• I think it looks extremely smooth, and its very solid.

Cons:

• You have to be on the computer you want when you boot it up or it will go to the basic visual setting (800×600)
• It is known to have some problems currently with computers with nVidia motherboards.

Connected:

• Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW
• Alienware Small Case Computer
• Large Main Desktop
• Sometimes Laptop with DVI adaptor
• Logitech Speakers 2.1
• Logitech USB MX518 Mouse
• Logitech Wireless Keyboard

Overall: The audio connections are analog and not optical. Some people might see this as a negative but how many consumer KVMs come with optical audio? There is a connection for the audio out and the microphone! So you can switch between computers easily. I think this KVM does the job very well, and there are a lot of different keyboard-short cuts to switch different things between computers which makes it very flexible. Not just normally switching, so you have other options. I have bought other KVMs before, and none of them have included all the cabling with them before. I have given this product 4 out of 5 which is very good, but its because the problem with the mother board and its a little expensive, but other then that its a fantastic product. And it is also known to be apple friendly.

Price: MSRP $359.00 – Amazon $264.00
