This product just works. Better then the belkin's that I tried, No problems with the VGA, keyboard, mouse, or sound hook up. I wouldn't call this an issue cause I don't really think you can put in a fix for this, if you have a lit keyboard it will stay fully lit, even in hibernation mode. from Amazon.com This is the only KVM I've found that supports wireless devices. My wireless mouse wouldn't work at all on a PS2 KVM, which makes sense (I don't believe that PS2 provides power to the mouse/keyboard). On an iogear USB KVM the mouse only tracked in the vertical direction rendering it useless. I have a Logitech wireless optical mouse and a wired Mac keyboard for my Windows and Linux machines. from Amazon.com Pros: So I need some info on this, I hope someone can help. First I need to know about the cable lengthsSecond I need to know if this will be compatible with a wireless mouse and keyboard as I am finding most kvm's are not. In particular I have a Logitech S-510 wireless desktop. from Newegg.com Best of all their is a MIC input! The transmission is a bit weak but tweak my help;guess a small neg... I gave this a 2 recently but retract it after finding a VGA cable.... Nice work IOGEAR!! from Newegg.com I'm using this on a Win XP box and a Linux box. Cons: None at the moment. Other Thoughts: I have a simple USB keyboard. I'm going to buy a backlit USB keyboard, then I'll see if this KVM will power the KB through the USB port and continue to function properly. from Newegg.com on an iogear usb kvm the mouse only tracked in the vertical direction rendering it useless. from Amazon.com i switch between the monitor's video inputs (dvi and vga), so i'm not sure how well the vga signal transmits through this kvm. from Amazon.com other thoughts: brought this for my wife because she has a work pc and a home pc on the same monitor , mouse and keyboard. from Newegg.com other thoughts: i have a simple usb keyboard. from Newegg.com still after trying multiple switches this works fine, with linux and windows set up's. from Amazon.com
