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).

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.
