works right out of the box, only has connections on 2 sides so it doesn't take up too much space, audio switching is nice (you can even switch to another input w/out sound in case you're listing to something), using with 2 windows machines from Compusa.com Just got this KVM last week for $15 after $10 MIR. We have needed one of these at work for some time but never actually got one until now. It works as advertised although we have not used any audio function so I cannot comment on the usability of the audio switching. As far as switching a ps2 mouse, ps2 keyboard, and VGA monitor; it works great. from Buy.com

Package showed up quickly and undamaged and hooked up nicely. I had some issues with my audio. At times it works fine, others not at all.

from Buy.com WRONG! For this product, the KVM-121, the manual contains a statement that says "If a special mouse is used such as a cordless or scrolling mouse, make sre you use generic PS/2 mouse drivers. A non-standard PS/2 mouse may have extensions on the PS/2 protocol that are not supported by the KVM-121." WOW! What an understatement! from Amazon.com Pros: Worked great for the first two months. Cons: A lot of audio distortion, quit working a few weeks ago and I have email D-Links tech support twice now with no reply either time. from Newegg.com I had another KVM without audio, and swapped it for this one. A few caveats: from Amazon.com Pros: none at all. Cons: will not work with Logitech EX110 because the keyboard has no scroll lock key. audio is very poor. hums, buzzing noises and i can even hear the HD spinning up through my speakers. from Newegg.com See the nine (9) Hot Keys on page 9 of the superbly written and illustrated Quick Install Guide. Yes, the manual switch is too small, but you really don't need it. Adding audio to the standard keyboard, monitor and mouse troika is a real plus. from Amazon.com Pros: It could have been a nice product had it worked even a little bit... Cons: Simply did not work. Wanted to use standard microsoft ps/2 keyboard and usb/ps2 optical mouse with a DELL docking station and Ubuntu desktop. Got video out of port 2 on the docking station, and only a very old (early 90's) keyboard and mouse would work. from Newegg.com This D-Link KVM switch is one of the most frustrating pieces of computer equipment I've bought in a LONG time. About 80 percent of the time, it will work as advertised. from Amazon.com
