KVM without mouse/keyboard?

Curious if anyone can recommend a good hi resolution KVM that doesn't require keyboard and mouse...basically looking for a cheap-o monitor switch but able to handle 1600x1200.

I bought this and it requires keyboard. I need a second for a dual monitors setup.
 
I know Belkin and Avocent make KVMs that you don't need keyboards for, but you need to purchase the external power adapter for them (because usually they are powered over the keyboard line, hence your problem).
 
i had a belkin one that used buttons and it came with the power adapter it actually wouldent work just off thet PS/2 power it was a 4 port
 
My 4 port belkin doesn't need keyboard or mouose, but it does use an external power adapter. I generally just use it with a keyboard and video, except for any Sun machines that may be hooked up to it.
 
So, considering that there are many iterations and version of the Belkin KVM's:

- Anubis - which Belkin model do you have that definitely did not work without keyboard (even with the power hooked up)

- n0cmonkey - which Belkin model do you have?
