C2G 35555 4-Port VGA/USB and PS/2 KVM Switch with Cables

Pros: This kvm is hands down the best switch there is. It has worked with every mouse and keyboard I have thrown at it even wirelessusb and ps/2. I use one with two Linux and two windows pc's. One pc has only ps/2 and one is usb only this kvm doesn’t care what you have it performs flawlessly. The extra usb ports are great for sharing printers, scanners, external hard drives or any usb device. I have used many differnt kvm's some better than others but this kvm is the one to compair all others too.

Cons: None execpt the price but you get what you pay for and this is the best.

Overall Review: I have two of these and i am getting a third newegg doesnt seem to always have them get it while you can.

Pros: This is actually a good KVM switch allows both USB and PS2 connections

Cons: The KVM I received from Newegg did not support USB 2.0. The manufacturer says that older units they shipped were USB 1.0 only. I guess it's hit or miss whether you get an older unit or a newer unit that supports USB 2.0.

Overall Review: Note that Newegg cannot guarantee the version sold.

Pros: It works. Easy setup. Seems like a very solid unit. Price is very reasonable. So far works with XP, Vista and Linux FC6. Comes with cables.

Cons: PS2 console ports. If you plug your USB/Keyboard in, you can't use the hotkeys to switch ports. Hotkeys only available on console PS2 ports.

Pros: Video Very Good I have tried others but this one is the best. I only use USB keyboard and usb mouse with USB to 4 computers. 1 high end game computer 1 server 2003 2 XP Pro

Cons: Would have liked the USB ports for the keyboard and mouse on the back and I am sure that is going to be the case after all the PS2 port computers have died out

Overall Review: Works grear with Flash drive in the front ports along with the keyboard and mouse too. As you switch from computer to computer flash drive follows the computer you are on

Pros: Simple, easy switching from computer to computer, layout and directions took all of 20 seconds to figure out. All cables included works just lie it should when it should.

Cons: Every once in awhile (and i mean very very rarely) there is a power outage and the unit will be "stuck" on which ever computer is was on last, but a simple restart of all computers fixes this. Other than that, NONE!

Overall Review: Works great i used to have the IOGexr version for 2 computers, that thing was garbage, pressing scroll lock twice was a pain, mostly because it would stop recognizing the keyboard, then scroll lock is useless. This unit is far superior and its from Cables 2 Go so you can't go wrong.

Pros: Fast switching, metal chassis, solid design

Cons: lack of documentation

Pros: It doesn't beep! Seems well made, metal case. Fast switching. USB ports are handy.

Cons: USB auto-switching off by default. Hotkey commands are not the ones printed in the manual.

Overall Review: I got this a couple of weeks ago. Doesn't beep! Oh happy days! Seems well made. Case is metal with rubber bumpers. Heavy enough to stay put when you push the buttons. I have an XP Pro, W2K, and Linux machine hooked up to this and all work. USB autoswitching off by default, but easy to fix. I have a standard PS/2 keyboard, and a usb optical mouse with a usb to PS/2 adapter. Mouse and keyboard work fine- however- I had problems with keyboard hotkey commands not working. It's supposed to be control key twice then number key to switch PC's, this is what is printed in the manual. Unfortunately, that does not work, for me anyway. A friend who has a different brand of kvm told me that he uses scroll lock twice for hotkey commands. For the hell of it, I tried scroll lock twice and the number key and it worked perfectly. So if you're having issues with the hotkey commands try the scroll lock key and the number keys and disregard what is in the manual.

Pros: The CablesToGo KVM switch 35555 4-port switch shown on this page (and which I ordered) has a front-panel scan switch. The one Newegg is shipping is the TruLink switch with no front-panel scan button. I can use it but with usb keyboard there is no auto-scan function. Otherwise this is a good switch, sets up easily and works (after some diddling - see cons). Cables are good quality. Unit weight feels good and it seems rugged enough.

Cons: The inability to use scan is a HUGE pain for me - that's why I bought this one in the first place. When delivered it had the USB ports continuously assigned to P/C #1. Without a PS2 keyboard you cannot force it to sync to whichever terminal is selected. I had to find one (in the back room) and plug it in to overcome this problem (and reboot a machine to enable the keyboard, etc.) The system reset button on the back of the switch did not help the situation at all. There is some video bleed-over between all 4 machines so that if I switch from machine 1 to machine 2,3,or 4 I get slight background 'dithering' caused by the signal on video port 1 - ditto for the other 3. But it is not as bad as the switch I'm replacing, so it is an improvement. Other than that no major problems ....

Overall Review: If newegg had shipped the switch I ordered instead of the replacement, i'd probably be happy, and I would probably give the switch a higher rating. I've written customer service but haven't gotten a reply yet. The shipment came on time, and the set-up was easy after I got through the "non-scanning USB ports" problem.
