KVM switch Questions

[snowdogg187]

I'm in the market for one, don't know much about them. I want a 4 port, not sure if I'll get a belkin/linksys, or a better one.
Wondering if there is much difference between usb and ps2 switches, like will everything work fine with both?

THanks, and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for one too, but I noticed that all of them seem to work as 2 computers for 1 set of hardware. Is it possible to use them as 2 sets of hardware for one computer?

snowdogg187,

Take a look at TomsHardware, I saw a KVM Review, but have not had time to go back and peruse it.
I'm using the D-Link DKVM-2 and have had no problems.

QuickLink ............try again I fixed it (hopefully)?

Don't waste your money, get one of the cheapo ones. I got a 4 port on EBay for $19. Works perfect. 😉

I like the Belkin Omniviews (not the "E"s). They also switch audio, and USB ports for you.

This may not be a big deal for some, but I like the idea.

[edit] it appears that Tom gives this one a thumbs up as well.
