IOGear 2-Port GCS92 MiniView Micro PS/2

$96.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.newegg.com
- with ps/2 ports being phased out, the usb version of this unit (iogear gcs-932u) might be a better way to go.
from Ivanna Popsicle, www.newegg.com
only has ps/2 connectors for keyboards/mouses (mice?).
from DennisC10853, www.newegg.com
cons: i only gave it four eggs because of the ps2 connectors.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
cons: at this point the ps2 connectors are outdated.
from Kurumi, www.newegg.com
not really something i can dock the product on per-say but it is something that has to be noted due to most newer motherboards and computers are coming without any ps/2 ports.

- i needed a usb kvm switch (versus older ps/2 connectors)
from N/A, www.newegg.com
i have had a few kvm switches ps2/usb and they usually get me problems with my laser mouse and usb keyboard.
from Smirch Heliac, www.newegg.com

Cables To Go TRULINK 4-Port VGA and USB 2.0/PS/2 KVM

Check Site at Amazon

from bvrev.compusa.com
i only wish the usb/ps2 ports could have been located on the back or the side instead of on the front.
from David from Atlanta, GA, clickfrom.buy.com
i've used several brands of usb and ps/2 kvms and the cables to go/trulink is the most reliable for pcs and macs.
from A Customer from Adrian MI, clickfrom.buy.com
the only way you can listen to audio on a different computer than the one with the currently selected keyboard and mouse is if you are using a ps2 mouse and keyboard.
from Aubrey from Savannah, GA, clickfrom.buy.com
the one thing i do not like is the ps/2 connections on the front of the unit.
from www.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.

KVM LINKSKEY|LKU-S04ASK 4P RT

$55.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.newegg.com
bought it to replace an old 2-port ps/2 kvm.
from www.newegg.com
i don't understand why most companies are still making all these ps/2+ d-sub kvm models when all these interfaces have been fazed out by most oem computer dealers.
from www.newegg.com
i don't understand why most of the kvm switches available are d-sub and ps/2 when most current equipment is usb/dvi.
from MonkeySaid, www.newegg.com
have one older computer that doesn't want to detect usb keyboards and has ps2 connection and it always boots with problems unless it is booted first (foxconn board).

IOGear 2PORT USB GCS42UW6

$48.00 Est. at Amazon

from bvrev.compusa.com
i've owned ps/2 versions of iogear kvm's, but i needed a usb one for my wireless mouse and keyboard.
from Durf, www.newegg.com
but, it seems to work well, though there's a slight delay when switching on the usb bus compared to my old ps2 kvm, but that was expected and cannot be helped.
from Rich in VA, www.newegg.com
usb connections simplified previous wire nightmare (ps/2 keyboard and mouse).
from N/A, www.newegg.com
the usb is great instead of ps2 cons: switching response time isn't as fast as i was hoping, but cant complain too much
from www.amazon.com

IOGear Hybrid VGA KVM GCS742UW6

Check Site at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
my first stab at a kvm switch was a belkin ps/2 flip, but it would not keep the scroll function of my usb kensington expert mouse after a switch between computers.
from Jay, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i actually like having the keyboard connection as ps/2 for several reasons:--it leaves one more usb port available for other devices--some older computers do not initialize usb
from TechGezzer, www.newegg.com
ended up putting usb keyboard and usb mouse on usb hub feeding kvm usb port, leaving ps2 connections empty.
from NightStorm, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: as mentioned by another reviewer, this contains a ps2 style keyboard connector.
from www.amazon.com
my "console" consists of a gateway usb scroll mouse, a gateway ps2 keyboard, and a samsung 19" lcd analog monitor.

CTG 2 Port Port AUTHORITY2 VGA USB and PS2 KVM with Cables (757120355540) KVM Switch

$81.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.tigerdirect.com
my usb keyboard and mouse connected via ps2 adapters to the switch work just fine, and the switching latency from one machine to the next is lower (faster) than some more expensive kvm's i've used.
from www.tigerdirect.com
also, i was unaware when i purchased it that only one upstream usb connection was necessary for each computer - the conversion from ps/2 keyboard to laptop usb was an unexpected bonus.
from www.tigerdirect.com
also, i kept my ps/2 adapters as the switch happens faster than when keyboard and mouse are plugged into the usb ports.
from www.tigerdirect.com
setup was very quick for my linux, xp box, lcd and remote ps2 keyboard and mouse.
from www.amazon.com
this is one of the few ksu boxes i've tried that handles usb and ps2 connections to the computers.

Belkin Flip DVI-D KVM and Audio Switch F1DG102D

$155.00 Est. at Amazon

from Edmon, www.newegg.com
very nice to just have a small button on my desk instead of my old 8-port rackmount vga/ps2 kvm.
from gigabyte, www.newegg.com
all usb and no ps2 on this board.
from sixscrews, www.newegg.com
this is fatal - the system will not resume unless a ps2 device is connected, defeating the purpose of having a kvm switch.

i only wish the usb/ps2 ports could have been located on the back or the side instead of on the front.
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 www.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 have a wireless keyboard and mouse connected to the ps/2 interface and i have a backup usb mouse that i use while the ps/2 mouse is recharging.
