IOGEAR MiniView Micro Audio KVM Switch

Strengths: Integrated cabling with audio. Size, price are reasonable.

Weakness: Lack of support 3 or the 4 PCs that I wanted to connect with the KVM.

This is a nice, compact unit. Beware if you own an IBM Thinkpad or Toshiba Tecra series laptop. Unfortunately for me, I own two Tecras and an IBM Thinkpad that I wanted to connect to the IOGear 4 port KVM. After making all the connections and reading the instruction manual, I found in the troubleshooting section, a sentence stating that the product didn't work with these laprops and I would have to use the laptop's keyboards when selected. This defeats the purpose of the unit. Other than that, it is (was) a very nice switch.

IOGEAR 4-PORT COMPACT PS2 KVM SWITCH W/BUILT-IN 6FT...

Strengths: Switches easily between 4 pc's cables included fast setup and worked immediately

Weakness: none

Great KVM Switch

Strengths: Easy hotkey switching, small footprint, integrated cables w/ great lenght, fast switching, no additional power for use, you can use some industrial velcro and mounted anywhere you want, solid product.

Weakness: None in 3 1/2 years.

I've had this KVM switch for about 3 1/2 years and it has been a solid piece of equipment, at work I'm on my second Belkin KVM switch in 3 years that is almost 3 times more expensive than this one. If you’re looking for a solid KVM switch with audio support that will be reliable and last for the long run this is the one for you. Just make sure that you don't need USB support because you will be out of luck, if you need USB support buy the USB model just purchased it about 6mo ago and I’m completely satisfied with this product. I recommend this product 100%.
