from Dave.Denver, www.newegg.com
- long reach wired switch button- just buy it and get on with life cons: - cables could be coded for pc1 and pc2- no sexy pic's of females on box or instructions
from Rob5i, www.newegg.com
it feels great to push the button knowing what a hassle it was before to switch computers.
from Groggo, www.newegg.com
i imagine it could be a convenient usb storage switch- no cable switching just a button.
from FinalSight, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i'm not using it as a monitor switch, so i don't know if there's any added input lag with monitors or how fast they switch over when you hit the button.
from BDub, www.newegg.com
the small remote button is a nice feature, i just sit it up by my monitor and tap it to switch.

i use the hot buttons on the keyboard to switch between pc's and it works smoothly.

there are some odd problems with getting my pc to detect the keyboard when rebooting, but it has to do with which button is active on the kvm at the time.

IOGear 2PORT USB GCS42UW6

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from bvrev.compusa.com
rather than tapping the scroll lock key like on previous versions, you hit a button on the box, which is a little more inconvenient as you need to have the kvm near you, it can't be hidden somewhere..
from bvrev.compusa.com
to switch between pcs you must press the button on the kvm itself.
from www.amazon.com
you have to press a button on the kvm itself, which can be a pain depending on where you locate it.
from www.amazon.com
placing it where you find it most convenient on your desk unlike the one i got that makes you reach all the way across the desk beside the monitor to press the button on the top center of the unit.
from www.amazon.com
the button to switch between pcs is the circle black button in the top center of the unit.

from Aubrey from Savannah, GA, clickfrom.buy.com
switching computers either using the buttons on the front of the kvm or using the hot keys has been flawless.

i would be nice if you hot key with a usb keyboard, the it's very easy to just hit the button.
from www.amazon.com
(but i can not use keyboard commands or other methods with my setup so the switch buttons have to work!) my evergreen ps/2 trackball works fine and even the ms ergo keyboard special keys all work.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
also i figured out that on the initial switch i must hold the button in a couple of seconds to turn on the autoscan.
from www.amazon.com
i'm not sure why, but i had planned to use the push buttons anyway, so this was not a deal-breaker for me.

simple click of a button (or keystrokes) and it makes the switch within 2 seconds.
from Jeff, www.newegg.com
the drawback is that you cannot use the key sequences to switch the kvm, which means you have to use the button instead.
from www.amazon.com
this is fine for old-style, basic 101/102 key keyboards but if you have an enhanced keyboard with extra buttons for things like multimedia such as my microsoft natural keyboard 4000, the other kvms

from A Customer from Durham, NC, clickfrom.buy.com
i was concerned about whether or not all the features/buttons of my keyboard and mouse would work through the kvm.
from A Customer from Springfield, NJ, USA, clickfrom.buy.com
switching by pushing the buttons works well, but the hot-keys work only when switching from pc to mac, not the other way.

-if you have one linux box, the hotkey doesn't work and you need to push the button on the kvm to switch between machines.
from bvrev.compusa.com
small, easy to connect and use, but the plugs on the switch it self are on all 4 sides, making it hard to find a place to keep it, where it fits, looks good, and the buttons are easy to see/reach.
