Pros: Does almost every thing it should do.No problems with USB hub.It worked fine with my logitech G5 mouse but you have to plug it in to the councle USB device port not the mouse port other wise you loose driver support.So it you have a G5 mouse and a G15 keyboard both may not work.

Cons: 7.1 audio was a big problem.I have a pair of zalman 5.1 surround head phones & a creative XFi fatality sound card that i tried on this. It always had back ground noise,hum,hiss you could hear the hard drives running.When i plugged the head phones directly in to the pc all noise went away. I thought it was defective so i sent it back to newegg for a replacement but the replacement did the same thing.

Pros: It works! All buttons on the keyboard and the mouse also work. My USB hub is shareable now. I am very happy with this product.

Cons: I can't think of one.

Overall Review: I am switching between one computer with x64 XP Pro and one with XP Pro. Not even a hic-up. I did ensure I had the latest firmware for the KVM.

Pros: The absolute best set of features. Well ahead of the competition. 2 PCs can share dual DVI monitors. Supports USB devices and 7.1 surround. Can switch USB (keyboard, mouse, others), monitors, and audio independently, meaning you can go from PC1 to PC2 on the video but still be listening to audio from PC1. Can be easily configured with included software. Supports up to 1920 x 1200 widescreen monitors. It has everything I need in one box. Can't find another out there like it.

Cons: Has its quirks. Sometimes the video for the 2nd monitor will be distorted when switching from one PC to the other (or after a restart of the PC). Switching to the other PC and back usually clears this up. KVM does not play nice with Microsoft Ergo Keyboard 4000 (though I've had problems with this keyboard in another brand of KVM). If you have this keyboard and don't use the configurable buttons then you'll be better off not loading the background programs that run in Windows (it helps a lot because through this KVM and that software the PC would receive erroneous commands for things like "shutdown the computer now" and "switch to the other PC now" - NOT good). Sometimes the keyboard or the mouse will stop working and the only way to get it back is to reset the KVM by unplugging the power and both USB connections to the PCs (they also supply power). This really sucks when you're in the middle of an intense part of your game and you suddenly lose control of your keyboard or mouse.

Overall Review: Based on other comments, the cons appear to be typical and not something that would be corrected by an RMA. Since this is the only KVM I know of with this set of features, it is the best by default. However, they need to work out the bugs because another brand is sure to come along any day now with a similar product. At some point I'll be interested in the 4-port unit, but not if it has the same issues and there's a choice. Consider this having 3 stars plus one for being the first and only product of its type. Large monitors with native resolutions higher than 1920 x 1200 will need to wait for a better product.

Pros: Does everything I need, works well.

Cons: Took a while to get it working correctly.

Overall Review: In the box, you'll find a slip of paper asking you to call support if you have a problem with the switch. Do it. When I received the switch, I couldn't get video to work on one of the two channels. I called tech support and talked to Wilson, who patiently worked with me to resolve the problem. Now my switch is working perfectly. The support I received from Wilson is among the best I've experienced in 20+ years of computing.

Pros: When it works it does what's promised, quite nicely.

Cons: Doesn't work with all video cards. I have a Quadro FX550 in my Dell Precision-390 workstation. After considerable consultation with tech support their conclusion is that my card doesn't work with their switch - and then have no options. Apparently the synchronization during startup goes awry, probably because it's too fast. I can workaround by starting with cables directly attached and then switching to the standard setup, but it's a pain. I'm going to keep the box and switch my video card - ouch, but worth it.

Pros: Looking for a kvm switch to support everything this pretty much does it, dual monitor, surround sound, and usb hub for printers or whatever you want to be connected to the active port. Hotkeys or buttons on front of device can be used to switch computers, when using hotkeys you can independantly switch video usb and audio allowing perhpas to switch kvm to second computer while still listening to music on first computer.

Cons: My monitor does not enter sleep mode when connected to this device. When using an "advanced" keyboard (bluetooth/rf wireless) you need to use the usb "device" port rather than keyboard port. However, when using the device port the hotkeys are not recognized and you can only use the buttons on the front to switch (but at least it has buttons unlike some devices that do not work at all with wireless keyboards); therefore, you cannot independantly switch video, usb and audio. My second machine still uses analog D-SUB. I am planning to eventually replace this video card and I would put this one in my second machine so I wanted to go with dual DVI, thinking I could use a DVI-A cable (or adapter) to connect it to the device. However, the cables included with the device are DVI-D and only support digital; if you want to use an analog connection on one of the ports you can seperately purchase a DVI-I cable to connect device to monitor and it works.

Overall Review: I hadn't had much luck getting everything I wanted from cheaper kvm switches: dual DVI for high resolution (1920x1200) display, support for wireless keyboard/mouse and usb hub for printer, audio was an added bonous. Except for having to turn off the monitor, this device is the only one I've found that actually does what I want. They claim the firmware I'm trying to get a patch to fix the monitor not going to sleep issue. Maybe its just me as no one else seemed to have noted this in their reviews.

Pros: Pretty solid device, plenty of ports. Works well for switching 2 24" monitors running 1920x1200 resolution. Am able to play games and watch movies without a problem. Audio switching works flawlessly. Pretty decent tech support.

Cons: Could not use the keyboard and mouse USB ports, apparently because they are USB 1.1. Moved to other USB ports on the switch and they worked just fine (but cannot use Scroll Lock key to switch, must use the pushbutton).

Pros: Works well. Setup was fast, pretty painless (other than the obscene thickness of the cables) and everything seems to work well. Both monitors are at native resolution (1920x1200) and switch well. The keyboard and mouse work very well after some tweaking. After getting everything worked out, it's working well.

Cons: Cables are huge. They are of good quality, but they dwarf both of the cables that attached my computer monitors to my main rig. Also, both my keyboard (Unicomp) and mouse (DeathAdder) both had real issues with the keyboard/mouse USB inputs on the box. The keyboard would lag severely and then 'stick' on a key. The mouse's 'y' axis was inverted. Both were fixed by running a USB hub off the 'device' USB port on the back of the unit. Another small issue was my Mac Pro had display difficulty when I first connected them, however switching between the two computers hooked up to the KVM fixed that issue.

Overall Review: I can't comment on the ability of this KVM to switch 7.1 audio, but as far as I can see so far, the KVM works well. Both computers have had no issues putting the monitors to sleep nor have there been any more glitches with the mouse and keyboard. Other than those technical issues, I have to say that it works well. I can't justify 5 eggs due to those issues.
