Happy Customer Tech Level:
Ownership:
Comments: I wasnt going to go to an 8 port but when you can get an 8 port for the same price as a 4. Go for it. The video going thru the KVM IS a bit darker and takes some getting used to. Unfortunately it does not have any USB for mice but does come with a PS2 connector. My Logitech mx1000 doesnt fully work with the KVM. I am unsure if it is a signal or power issue, so it could very well affect all wireless multi-button mice. The box...

Very Happy Tech Level:
Ownership:
Comments: Just installed this on my server rack with extensions cables to my mouse, keyboard, monitor and gaming PC. No complaints. Played some CS Source through it using my Radeon 9800 pro. The screen was a little darker through the KVM. Other than that, the image quality deteriorated very little, if any. I had one issue with a server that had the wrong video drivers installed not being displayed. But that was easily fixed. Make sur...

D-Link stands for Down-Link I don't expect the switch to solve the world's problems, but I do expect it to be more functional. First thing you learn, there is only one button to toggle between PCs, and that button only cycles one way (1 to 8). So if you only have 2 to 3 PCs connected, you can't cycle backwards (i.e. if you're on PC #3, you can only get to PC #1 by cycling thru 4->8->1). You'll definitely be using the HOT KEY combo to cycle up/down between PCs.
The OSD (On Screen Display) is straight out of DO...

Solid KVM I have had this item for 2 weeks now. It works well including usage with a MS optical trackball. All extra buttons on the mouse work as expected. Video quality is very good on a 21" monitor. One thing you should know: the gender of the cable ports were not the same as the existing KVM cables I already had.

Great KVM Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Easy to install and set up. Rack mount is very convenient. Keyboard hotkeys work well. Great price.
Cons: The OSD stays on screen until you press ESC, which passes through to the system and will cancel certain tasks when you just want the OSD to go away.
Other Thoughts: This is being used in a small business env...

Works great Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Works smoothly. The people are right about the vid being a little darker, but it's not all that much that you notice it after a day or two. I went back to a wired keyboard and mouse and haven't had one problem. I use the keyboard to go from confuser to confuser and it's a snap. You just hit scroll lock twice and then the up or down keys to go either way on your ...

Frustrating Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Supposedly useful hot-keys and interface
Cons: After trying to understand the poorly translated manual and eventually looking up online to figure out what the manual was trying to say, I still couldn't get it to work correctly. It doesn't even catch it's own hot keys 90% of the time. Most key strokes to communicate with the KVM are missed.
Other Thoughts: ...

Does the job I've had this swith now for ~8 months controlling between 4-6 x86 servers at any one time, it works well, I can safely boot any of the servers without worrying about whether I'm viewing that server or not. The only quirk about this KVM is that from time to time when I go to switch between servers it locks up -- which isn't that big a deal because I just push the two yellow buttons on the KVM at the same time to reset it, enter the KVM switch security password, and it continues on just fine with...

Extreme Value Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Works extremely well, we bought two of these for our rack mount server towers. Graphical menu is very helpful. Very stable, and reliable. Multiple banks work together seamlessly. Very easy to use.
Cons: Expect to purchase more cables, as the switches only come with three cables each, one of which is for daisy chaining another KVM, alt...

. We purchased these switches for our Dell racks. After some initial confusion in the manuals concerning the setup (i.e. renaming the ports, passwords, etc), they work pretty nice. You can either double tap the Scroll Lock button and then the left ot right arrow buttons (within 2 seconds), or manually advance the port selection. Wish there was a way to go both directions, however. The ability to daisy-chain to another switch via a dedicated daisy-chain port is a nice feature.
