I have a windows and a linux machine. I don't need the switch to switch video since I have both machines plugged into my LCD.

I have this keyboard and a Logitech MX700 mouse. I'm looking for a USB KVM switch and have narrowed my selection down to these two

Option A: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=17-107-417&depa=0

Option B: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductde...=KVM+Keyboard+Video+M&CMP=OTC-mys1mo17

I don't need the sound switching (which is crap anyways on the iogear. Both are relatively the same price.
Anyone have any experience using either one of these two?

TIA!

I bought one like the option b not too long ago. It didn't work. I returned it for another one. It didnt work either. I have a 4 port version of option A at home and at work, and I have no problems with them. Even though the IOgear is twice the price, I would chose that over the Zonet, because I know the IOgear kvms work well. My $.02.
