USB KVM

[w0lf42]

I'm in the market for a USB KVM

I have yet to see one that supports USB2.0, are there any?

I am interested in an IOGear, particularly this one: Link

I've heard a few people state problems with IOGear, specificlly "definite blurriness of text". Has anyone else noticed this?

I've also heard people complain about not being able to use all of their mouse/keyboard features. Anyone have experience this?

Thanks in Advance.

Belkin KVM with USB, DVI, and Audio

I think you can find SOHO models without the DV and/or audio, if you need.

I don't think any of them have USB 2.0. Besides, why would you need to *share* USB 2.0 devices between machines. Sure, it would be nice, but shouldn't be necessary.

Those SOHO models are quite impressive. Options such as Dual Head, DVI, Audio, etc. really kick butt. However, you really pay for it too. The cheapest I could find the 4-port VGA/USB was at Newegg for $109.00. On top of that, I would need to drop some cash (~$25.00) to purchase the cables (I believe that's only one set of cables).

I have to admit, the Dual Head is tempting. If I was willing to go to a 2-port, I could get one for ~$145.00 (froogle.com). But then I would still have to drop ~$27.00 per set of cables to connect it.

As far as sharing USB devices. I was thinking with my keyboard being able to connect USB devices to it, it would be nice to plug in devices such as MP3/OGG Player or Pen Drive and get the full 2.0 bandwidth.

Thanks for the information. Very cool products, just out of my price range.
