Pros: None

Cons: Bought one over a year ago, and it flaked out completely after a couple months. They sent a replacement (without question, since they apparently have a lot of problems with this switch), and now the replacement is broken too, and randomly changing back and forth between inputs. It's hard enough to use even when it's not broken, because the switch doesn't work very well at all. When you boot a machine, it will magically switch inputs to the OTHER machine, thus you can't see any machine's boot sequence, and if you want to for example, hit the F8 key to boot in safe mode, forget it.... you have to remove the switch. Also, the switch automagically switches by itself sometimes when your screen changes resolutions (for example playing a fullscreen game).

Other Thoughts: Complete piece of junk.

Pros: Easy to set up, all-in-one construction. CHEEP.

Cons: I've experienced problems similar to those of the other reviewers here. About once a week, the unit will not allow a switch to the other machine. It will click over momentarily, then return to the first PC. The only solution is to unseat/reseat all of the connections or reboot both machines. Also, the switching between machines is quite slow, requiring at least ten seconds before allowing control of the other machine after initiating a switch. We have four of these at the office and all exhibit the same problem.

Pros: All cabling included, small form factor.

Cons: Resolution goes haywire if you don't switch to the machine prior to booting it, which more often than not means rebooting the machine in order to get it working. Switching between machines is flaky at times.

Pros: Simple to connect and comes with all cables needed

Cons: Specifications state clearly that unit has a switch to change computers. It does not!!! Even manufacturer's website says the same. Only by reading the user manuals are the two different models accurately described.

Other Thoughts: Softswitch-only makes this unit worthless when rebuilding PC's.

Pros: When it works as it should, it works great. All your mice/keyboards are detected correctly (Ive seen some KVMs that make your fancy mouse detect as a generic Microsoft Mouse). Works fine on XP/Vista/Mac OS.

Cons: The button to switch between computers is not a hard switch. Meaning that it will not stay locked on to whichever computer you set it to. So if you have it set to computer #2 and it is shut down off, but you boot up computer #1, it will automatically switch to that computer. It sounds handy but its a problem when it automatically switches when you dont want it to. It will freak out sometimes and constantly switch back and forth between computers. It will sometimes do this even when both computers are off, making an annoying clicking sound every time.

Other Thoughts: Get something else. Belkins products are overpriced and made of EPIC FAIL.

Pros: Easy to hook up. Powered by USB

Cons: No hot key to switch it.
Powered by USB. (Yes, I know I put it as a Pro).
Gets stuck on one display, hit the button it'll switch, and switch back. Almost impossible to get it to stay on 2nd display.
Any time resolution changes it switches. Makes it difficult to watch a system boot up.

Other Thoughts: Had it hooked to Dell Windows Laptop + Linux System.

Pros: Works great for switching my monitor between my PC and my Mac G5.

Cons: Sometimes when you restart one of the machines it gets wacky and keeps switching back and forth. Just unplugging both of the USB connections to it will reset it and get you back on track.

Other Thoughts: If only one connection is active, the KVM will switch to that input. It is designed that way because it is designed to be a desktop switch, not a heavy duty rack mount system.

Pros: NONE

Cons: THIS IS THE WORST KVM SWITCH I HAVE EVER USED! ONE OF THE BAD ISSUES THAT IT HAS WHENEVER U RESTART ONE MACHINE IT AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES TO ANOTHER ONE, I MEAN WHAT KIND OF SWITCH IS THAT! ALSO IT DOES NOT HAVE A HOT KEY COMBINATION FOR THE CONSOLE.

Other Thoughts: I THOUGHT BELKIN WAS A GOOD BRAND
