Cisco-Linksys PS2KVM4 ProConnect 4-Port Compact KVM Switch (PS/2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This switch is a terrific value.
I bought this switch for use at home to connect three computers in my home-office. I am very happy with my choice.
The switch supports video resolutions up to 1920x1440. In the past, I found other low-cost KVM switches show noticeable image deterioration above 1024x768.
There is a easy-to-use button on the device to switch among your machines. LED's on top tell you which machine you have selected. You can also switch between machines using the keyboard. There are three KVM switching modes via keyboard:
Switch directly:
... Go to machine N: Alt, Ctrl, Shift, {1 2 3 or 4}, Enter
Auto-Scan (3 second interval):
... Begin Auto-scan: Alt, Ctrl, Shift, 0, Enter.
... Stop auto-scan: Spacebar
Up/down mode (Make it easy to quickly switch between machines):
... Begin Up/down mode: Alt, Ctrl, Shift, 0, Enter
... Go to previous machine: Left-Shift
... Go to next machine: Right-Shift
... Stop up/down mode: Spacebar
Unlike some KVM switches, you hit Alt, Ctrl, and Shift in order, one-at-a-time. You don't "chord" the keys together. (This actually is a benefit in my case -- I use the Emacs editor in Linux, and my previous "cheapie" KVM switch had a Ctrl-Alt-key combination command that conflicted with the editor.)
The ProConnect doesn't have an On-Screen-Display that tells you the name of the selected computer. I use OSD-enabled switches for work in the datacenter; but, given this unit's price, not having OSD is an acceptable limitation for the home-office.
