| 569231 | 2007-07-16 04:20:00 | Good question. I have just upgraded after struggling with a 4-port LevelOne model for a year. Crazy mice and keyboard problems. I did some research and got an Aten Masterview 4-port. So far rock solid, and compatible with mouse scroll key. All I've noticed is that text on the screen is not so crisp as when the monitor is plugged directly into the PC (longer cable?). Another model with good reviews is Linksys Proconnect (but the cables cost more than the switch). | ledzep (1441) | ||
| 569232 | 2007-07-16 05:59:00 | If you just want a basic KVM switch so that you can share the Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor with one other (older) computer, then this DSE Auto KVM Switch (www.dse.co.nz) works well. It comes with the cables already and uses PS2 and VGA connections. :) | Jen (38) | ||
| 569233 | 2007-07-16 06:03:00 | In my experience the DSE ones don't work too well - random mouse/keyboard errors when either one of the computers is switched off. I now have a 4-port PS/2 & VGA 'Laser' brand KVM. Stable as a rock, and so far compatible with everything I've plugged into it. |

| 569234 | 2007-07-16 07:12:00 | I have a TRENDnet 4 port and no issues at all if you power it up right (or rather the PC. I find that if the PC is 1/2 way thru POST and you swap to another PC and then go back to the original the keyboard is no longer recognised as there. Mouse works though. Have made sure I just don't change until past the POST screens. | Big John (551) | ||
| 569235 | 2007-07-16 08:20:00 | I've had really good performance from my ATEN CS-1764. It's a 4 port switch that supports DVI monitors. More info here (www.aten-usa.com) but you'll probably want the VGA model (www.aten-usa.com) Best KVM I've ever used. |
