I have a 2-port and a 4-port IOGear KVM with PS/2 connections. Both have
worked flawlessly for years.  Not that I'd want one in my server room, but
for desktop configs they've been great.

I think you need to replace your aging and possibly flaking PS/2 KVM as
well.

2011-08-31 Thread John Aldrich 
Thanks. I went ahead and bought that (4-port) model. I figure if it tears up
within 3 years, they'll fix/replace it. If it lasts more than 3 years
(probably) I've got my money's worth out of it. :D

For work the Belkin we had was a piece of cr@p, the Avocent we have now works

For home use I have purchased a few iogear 2 to 4 port KVMs and not had any

Yeah...Not bad. I like the idea of replaceable cables in case the cable goes
bad...although I suppose that if it goes out within 3 years, they
fix/replace it. After that, just replace it. :D

I think you need to replace your aging and possibly flaking PS/2 KVM as
well.

Yeah... After the suggestion to chuck the old Belkin KVM, I got to thinking
"why not." Any particular brand of KVM y'all like? Belkin used to be the
name to buy for "prosumer" stuff. Are they still the brand to beat?

Just looking at some of the info available some of the USB Wireless do not work
