I use the linksys 4 port version. I had to return the 1st one since the
'hot keys' wouldn't respond. The second one works great using the Belkin
cable kits. I got everything from http://www.cdw.com . They priced out
the Belkin cables over the phone to $8 for each PC, which doesn't match
their website @ $14 each. I think I paid $76-$78 for the 4 port.
And I even play Counter-Strike thru it.

I highly recommend Linksys KVM's -- for the money, there are none
better, IMHO };-Þ

And, this is from somebody who's not likely to own anything else by
Linksys ;>
We've used both the 2-port (PS2KVM2,
<http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=129&grid=15>) and
4-port (PS2KVM4,
<http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=137&grid=15>) for
several months. Each can be had for well under $100, if you search
aggressively.
Very rarely have we seen any type of lockup -- usually, due to a
connection kicked loose ;<
The only real gripe we have is, once in awhile, the cursor lags behind
the mouse by a couple of milliseconds and you click; but, there's
nothing quite there on which to click ;< This is not as bad as it may
sound -- difficult situation to describe -- but, for some of us who fly
around blindly, not always watching what we're doing on automatic pilot,
it can be mildly frustrating.
What do you think?
