Advantages: Can dispose of 3 monitors, keyboards and mice. Disadvantages: Not future proof. USB only machines may not work.
...selected port, not just the adjacent one, would have been an improvement.
[Hint: If there are two machines that are used most often or switched between frequently, plug these in to ports 1 and 3 (or 2 and 4). Two clicks will switch between these in either direction.]
The other thing I would say is that my device at least does not like power cuts, producing a single high-pitched tone when power is restored until the Select button is pressed.
A 4-way KVM will probably cost around £100 new plus I suspect that a lot of the new devices will be all USB connectors, which will needlessly occupy two of the USB ports on your PS/2 machine, which may only have 2 or 4 USB ports to begin with. Either find a USB to PS/2 adapter that works or choose the KVM depending on whether you are buying multiple new machines or intend to administer your existing...

Advantages: Take 3 monitors, keyboards and mice off your desktop. Disadvantages: Not recommended for newer (all USB) devices.
...Overall a frustrating experience with some machines and as a result cannot recommend this device, particularly when using newer machines.
I have a number of these devices and all exhibit the same problem, which suggests a common fault, in that some newer Dell machines do not seem to synchronise with this device when switched to.
Ironically, older machines (Dell GX150/260/270/280) work with this device without any problems, even though they are intended to have a PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
Newer machines, such as the GX620 and 745, which are all USB machines (no PS/2) have problems synchronising when switched to. There is no response from the keyboard and mouse on screen, although the keypresses to switch to another port on the KVM seem to work, yet if a USB keyboard and mouse are plugged in to the machine in question then everything...

Advantages: price, simplicity Disadvantages: no USB keyboard/mouse connector
...This product does exxactly what it says on the tin.
It lets you view and control two computers from one monitor, keyboard and mouse.
It is PS2 only though and not USB - so if you have a very new PC without PS2 ports then this one is not for you - look on this site for one with USB connectors.
Switching between machines is simple, just one key press to switch.
One word of warning, if you plan to use this to just connect up the monitor cable and not use the keyboard and mouse connections (as I tried) it will not work as the device needs to collect power from all 4 connectors. With just 2 connected it suffers from lock ups. Tech Support soon helped me sort this out though ;)
When connected as specified however it works perfectly!...

When you think of a games console you think heavy, uncomfortable and always getting tangled in wires. Well not the PS3 sixaxis controller.
The first point of interest is the wireless cabability of the controller. The controller uses bluetooth which... more
