Belkin Pro Series PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard Extension Cable - keyboard / mouse extender - 3 m

Advantages: Advantages: Cheap, all in one solution
Disadvantages: No manual overide or audio support

...connections for the keyboard and mouse although Belkin do a range of KVM's so you can probably find a PS/2 equivelent if you have that sort of mouse/keyboard. The PS/2 models also include PS/2->USB adaptors so you'll also need those if you have a USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard. This particular model has no support for audio so if you need to also have your microphone and speakers switch from PC to PC, look elsewhere. The monitor, keyboard and mouse are then connected to the KVM to complete the set up. One bugbear is that like the vast majority of KVMs, this Belkin unit has cables going in one end and out the other making it difficult to place on a desktop without having cables hanging out everywhere. However, there is no reason why you can't just tuck it out the way out of sight as it has no parts you'd normally need to access. The leads were... Read review

Advantages: Smooth Keystrokes, Very cheap for wireless
Disadvantages: Weird Key Layout

...The very first thing you're going to notice about the Belkin Wireless Keyboard And Mouse is the price. It is cheap. Very cheap.

Advantages: Cost effective, ease of use.
Disadvantages: Power supply.

.... The wireless option makes for more freedom of movement and is less of a health and safety risk (no inconvenient cables). No rubber ball means a lot less drag when moving the mouse and a more agile pointer. The hot keys have tempted me to explore the use of my DVD player...and start to plan my next stand alone PC for multi - media and TV in the future. ***INTRO*** I decided to upgrade my worn out keyboard and corded mouse and started to surf the net. The name Belkin came up again and again. The price range - not too expensive (probably due to a lack of exclusivity). Finally I settled for the twin set offered (F8E832ukBNDL) at PC World for just £19.99 I have seen the set elsewhere for twice as much. ***THE PRODUCT*** System requirements USB or 2 PS/2 ports (I used USB) Windows: '98, 2000, Me or XP CD - ROM drive. Included in the package 1... Read review
