Pros: Woks as Described Well Constructed Keyboard shortcuts work well

Cons: No included cables No remote switch

Overall Review: I was hesitant to get this due to the mediocre reviews on this and other sites. I have a Desktop PC, a Mac Mini, and a PC laptop to connect to my new 27" Dell Ultrasharp monitor. The monitor requires displayport to get full resolution, and this was the only reasonably priced option for 4 port displayport KVM....So I decided to give it a shot. It works well!! All devices plugged into USB (headset, webcam, wireless keyboard and mouse) are recognized by all devices and work well. The monitor has a USB hub and I plug that into the KVM's hub and all devices work fine. Switches between computers are fairly quick, although the monitor momentarily goes into power save for a half second during the switch. Audo comes through displayport just fine. The keyboard shortcuts work well to switch devices, or you can press the buttons on the unit. My last KVM had a small wired remote so I could tuck the unit away. This one does not have this feature and I sort of wish it did...but I think I can make due with the keyboard shortcut (ctrl-ctrl-1 for device 1; ctr-ctrl-2 for device 2; etc) I could not be happier or more pleasantly surprised with this purchase.
