IOGEAR GCS634U MiniView USB KVM Switch with audio and cables
 
Almost good
- Pros: The monitor switching between Windows 7 and Linux works well.
The keyboard works well with my SIdewinder X4, although I don't use the programmable keys to know if they still work. - Cons: The mouse is terrible. I have tried multiple corded mice and wireless mice, all move slow and lose clicks when connected to Windows 7 or Linux. This has forced me to connect a mouse to each of computers and only use the KVMA for keyboard and video switching.
- Other Thoughts: If I can't figure out this mouse issue the device will be returned and I will be looking at other manufacturers. My old two computer Belkin KVM still works great, maybe I should have stuck with Belkin.

IOGEAR GCS72U 2-Port USB Cable KVM Switch with Audio
Great For One Month
- Pros: Easy setup. Just the thing I needed for my setup. Worked great for one month.
- Cons: Only worked for a month
- Other Thoughts: I was working on computer # 1 when the screen went blank-No Signal. At first I thought that the VGA on the MB had gone out.
I hooked the monitor to the Mb and had a great picture. Hooked it up to the KVM and again no picture, so I tried computer #2 and it worked as it as had, no problems. This unit works great while it works, but if you want something that lasts this IOGEAR KVM may not be for you.

ATEN CS1764A 4-Port USB2.0 DVI KVMP Switch, Cables Included
- Pros: hasn't exploded yet.
- Cons: Won't accept my Corsair keyboard, won't switch peripherals when a computer goes offline, wireless mice are hit and miss. Have to power it down regularly to even get it to function. Too expensive for something that doesn't work.
- Other Thoughts: Don't bother buying this thing. I've been trying to get it to function somehow since day one. Finally switching back to my 2 port kvm, since 2 computers is better than none.

IOGEAR GCS932UB 2-Port USB DVI KVM with Audio and Mic.
Good, Strong Switch
- Pros: Physical Toggle
Costpoint
Ease of Use - Cons: Doesn't like gaming mice -- have to turn mouse emulation off
- Other Thoughts: I've had this switch for nearly three years now, and the only reason I'm looking it up is because I think I need to replace it, and I'm deciding whether to replace it with an identical model, or an improved one.

LINKSKEY LDV-DM714AUSK 4-Port Dual Monitor (DVI+VGA) 7.1 Surround Sound KVM Switch w/ Cables
Works so far
- Pros: It supports 2 monitors, which is hard to find. It switches relatively fast. The picture is normal as I used to have with IO gear KVM. I had to switch because IO gear did not support dual monitor.
- Cons: I have this unit 3 to 4 months. As other reviews pointed out, I have experienced several episodes of freezing. The unit stops responding, the bottom for port 1 remains on and there is no way to switch to other ports, also keyboard and mouth not responding. When it happens (I had it happen at least 2 times in last month), I have to disable all USB cables. It is very hard to do due to inflexible heavy VGA/DVI cables that prevent unit from turning. The USBs are at the bottom and not accessible unless you turn unit upside down, and it is very hard with heavy VGA/DVIs. I have scratches on my desk now, and unit almost fell when I was trying to connect USBs. The power feeds from the power supply and 1 of my USB cables. I noted that that particular USB is 3.0, while other computers connected with USB 2.0 which do not provide power. I do not know if it is a good idea to let it run this way or if I should rewire it. It also often drops mouse on one of the computers. Requires to disconnect and connect the mouse again. Strangely- I get the sound when USB receiver for the mouse gets disconnected, so computer knows it was disconnected, yet it does not recognize it right away. I also cannot keep the screens set up. If I want to use computer 2, I have to switch KVM to port 2 before computer starts, otherwise, it starts with desktop on the wrong monitor.
- Other Thoughts: Still pricey for what it does. Could be better designed. Confusing about power use from USB ports concurrently with power supply.

IOGEAR GCS138KIT 8-Port KVM Switch w/cables Kit
Great KVM + EXPANDABLE!!!!
- Pros: I LOVE THESE!!!!! Not only do they work well, but both the front buttons, and the CTRL-CTRL hot-key menu allow for switching and selecting computers on cascaded switchers! Even works well when going through to a remote KVM over CAT5 via an extender like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817107412
- Cons: None that I have found yet... :-)
- Other Thoughts: If you need a basic 8-port KVM with PS2 support - buy his one!
If you need an expandable KVM - buy this one!
If you need an 8-port KVM, with USB, you might still want this one, and add USB to PS2 adapters for each computer that has USB...

IOGEAR GCS72U 2-Port USB Cable KVM Switch with Audio
WORKS GREAT!!
- Pros: This item works great! I am using with my desktop and laptop with a repeater. Works just like it should. I'm using it with a USB dock and have all the items plugged in to one side of the USB port and it works fine. I have the switch two side tapped to the bottom of my monitor and it works very well. I have been able to charge my iPhone, run the mouse, keyboard, and access a thumb drive from one side of the USB port on the device. Cables on the device seem to be long enough for all one would want to do.
- Cons: Requires 2 USB plugs to be connected by default.
Took a couple of times booting before the monitor accepted the proper resolution on both computers.
