Instead of sitting here watching my hard drive get formatted I just hit CTRL-CTRL and click over to my P4. CTRL-CTRL . . . AMD. CTRL-CTRL. P4.

Or for people with more computers than they have room for monitors.

hmmm, does the key combo differ between manufacturers? At work and school I press Scroll Lock+Scroll Lock+Up or down arrow

That would be my guess. My roommate has one and he uses the same combo as you do to switch. But yes, they're pretty nifty. If I had more than one computer, I'd have one for sure.

Yea it does. My Belkin is scroll lock, scroll lock, up. At work we have two computers on a Linksys KVM, and it's ctrl, ctrl.

I'll have to get one...I might be able to fit a few computers in here, but I'm running out of monitor room.
