Good stuff.
I got one last week and it's very cool to switch computers by hitting CTRL CTRL.

My older KVMs are kind of flakey, but newer ones like this work great.

I got one of these from Buy.com about a week ago. So far it's been working great. I dona't have any shadows like I did with the old manual switch I got off of e-bay (and this one was slightly cheaper!). I've got a 21" monitor running at 1280x1024.

My other computer is still at home. I will bring it back this weekend. So I haven't got to test the "switching" qualities of it yet. But like I said, no shadows so far and the hot key doesn't get in the way of gaming. So assuming it works the same hooked to two computers instead of just one, this is a really good value.

Great deal. The cables alone would cosy more!

One question, I would not use the mouse portion as I prefer the USB due to the smoothness that USB has over PS2, would that cause a problem?? I just wouldnt hook anything to the Mouse port..

Its a simple wire in wire out set up. I dont see any problems but you'll need 2 mouses for the 2 computers if you want a mouse on both rigs.
