The unit works well as long as you use a PS2 mouse and keyboard. I believe that the unit I received is defective but can't return it as it's installed at a remote client now. from Compusa.com Looks and works great. I only wish the USB/PS2 ports could have been located on the back or the side instead of on the front. from Compusa.com One caveat: hot-key switching works only with a ps-2 keyboard (which is what I use); with a usb one you have to use manual switching. I am writing this while switching between two Linux systems (Open-Suse 10.3 and Xandros) while listening to streaming audio on a third (a Nokia N800 tablet). from Compusa.com As a software developer working on multiple platforms I have four PCs on my desktop and needed a good KVM to share a single keyboard and trackball between them. After reading reviews on many products I chose the CablesToGo TruLink VGA and USB/PS2 KVM with Audio, model 35566. from Amazon.com I have owned this KVM switch for about 8 months or so. I thought this would be a good KVM switch. Came with cables, supports audio and PS/2 (on input, at least), which is getting harder and harder to find. But, this KVM switch has always been a little off. from Amazon.com Works exactly as advertised. Consolidated 2 displays, keyboards, etc., and two other RDP controlled systems with a lot of deskspace returned. Handles Win2k3 Server, Win2k-Pro and WinXP with no issues. from Amazon.com The first KVM did not switch so I returned it (easier to return through Amazon than through the manufacturer though they are ok...if something of this nature does not work, I have little time to fill out forms after crawling under the desk to plug everything in--only to unplug everything again when it didn't work--the tech could tell from my call that it was kaput so a simple RMA number should have sufficed but they had more forms to fill...). Since I know a bit about manufacturing electronic devices and since this product has all the features I want, I was willing to try it again. So far, I am glad. from Amazon.com I have been using the Trulink 4-port VGA USB 2.0/PS2 with Audio KVM switch for about three weeks to control a MacBook Pro, a Windows XP PC, and a Windows Vista PC. I am generally satisfied with the switch, with a couple of reservations, one of which stems from a limitation in functionality that seems to be shared by all KVM switches. from Amazon.com I am very happy with the product. It's inexpensive, comes with all four sets of cables and was pretty easy to setup. from Amazon.com I had another KVM switch that worked ok for a while, but then went kaput. I was looking for a KVM switch that included sharing the audio and was not too expensive. Then I found Cables to go TruLink KVM switch and purchased it after reading some of the reviews. from Amazon.com
