Epic piece of kit

Fantastic bit of kit, using it to switch XP home sp3 and a Red hat server - only complaint is that the screen is slightly off centre which is easily fixed by the auto-adjust button on my monitor and it takes a little longer for xp to realise it's back in control(that's a microsoft complaint though!)

would recommend to anyone! Don't buy another monitor!!

Have a laptop on a docking station and a desktop both running XP. Was a bit unsure how well the switch would work with my wireless keyboard and mouse. Works perfectly everytime, no hanging just swift interaction between both PCs. Fully recomended, not sure how anyone has a problem with this bit of kit!

Great bit of kit

I have two PC's, one running Windows XP, the other running Linux (Ubuntu). I plugged the cables in (took less the 30 seconds), and turned the machines on - worked perfectly. No software to install, no fuss.

Would recommend this product to anyone needing a basic KVM switch.

If I'm being very picky, then I'd complain that switching to the Windows machine takes 1.5 - 2 seconds for the keyboard and mouse to be activated (the monitor is immediate). This delay is not present when switching to the Linux machine. I think the delay is actually Windows, not the switch.
