Works like it should (except).......2007-06-08

The Belkin 4-port KVM works very well except for one little problem. The Microsoft mouse will not scroll with the wheel. I can change from one computer to the others just fine. Still working on the mouse though. I would still recommend this product.

not that great.......2007-03-30

I had lots of problems with this KVM losing connection to my keyboard and mouse when switching between computers. The only way I was able to fix this was by using a converter that took the KB and Mouse PS/2 connections from the kvm cable and turned them into a single USB connection. $50 for two of these to fix a problem that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Cheaper than a new KVM I suppose.

I also have a lot of trouble using the KVM keyboard shortcut in Windows 2000, causing me to have to reach across my desk to hit the button on the KVM to switch to another computer, rather annoying.

It works fine with my monitor though, even at 1600x1200@85Hz, which is how it gets two stars instead of one.

My recommendation is to avoid this product.

So far So Good.......2007-03-23

I have had this Switch for about 3 months now and I am very pleased.
I had the two switch version, but lost a monitor and instead of buying another monitor, I bought this.
I have not had any problems switching between my four computers. One computer has Vista, one XP, and two have 2003 Server.
Only two pair of my cables are belkin cables. The other cables are a different brand and the cables work just fine.

My model frequently failed to detect mouse and/or keyboard.......2006-07-29

I used Belkin KVMs (OmniView SEs) in the late 90s and they worked very well; this model failed repeatedly and consistently to detect attached mice/keyboards on start up. If the system wasn't set to the PC that was booting, it was as good as useless, too.

I gave up and purchased a different brand. The replacement works flawlessly; I couldn't even sell the Belkin on eBay.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this model. In fact, I recommend you do not buy it.

Problems with modern mice.......2004-01-29

I have this device and a 2-port Linksys. Frequently with this one, I get a delay in or totally lose my mouse control when switching between computers. I'm using a MS optical mouse that is natively USB, with a USB-to-PS2 converter attached that could be a problem. Just a warning to those with similar configurations that they may get similar results. The Linksys KVM has no problems with my setup.
