Recommend a good KVM

[Ender17]

I need a KVM to connect my 2 PCs, and possibly a Mac Mini in the future. Here are some things I'm looking for:

1) Video not important since my monitors have multiple inputs.
2) None of that HotKey bullshit, I want a manual hardwired selector.
3) No slowdown or lag when gaming.
4) Compatibility with the Mac Mini because I'll probably get one later this year.
5) Needs to have basic audio sharing.
6) Would like to be able to share my USB printer as well.

I have a MX1000 and a Logitech Elite Keyboard that I plan to keep.

any ideas?

Stay away from the belkin omniview and if you use a wireless keyboard and/or mouse, make sure the KVM is compatable with them.

why is the omniview bad?

and my mouse is wireless, how can you tell? I thought all the wireless stuff was handled between the base and mouse

You would think, but many KVM's seem to have issues with wireless stuff, the only way to find out is to test the stuff or maybe read reviews

know any good review sites?

I've used several Zonet 2 & 4 port KVM's and they work like a champ, especially with the Microsoft Cordless Comfort combo. 🙂
