Pros: Awesome KVM, great resolution, great features, supports everything I can throw at it (except using both DVI cables to run one huuuuuge monitor. But then, I think I had it configured wrong or something... might be a hardware limitation, but probably just a stupid user. I'd definately recommend this for anyone who needs a good, dual port KVM.
Cons: I was dumb enough to see the two USB ports labeled "USB HUB" and thought it meant "USB hub here" so.... what did my dumb self do? yes, thats right. I plugged my 7 port USB hub into one of those ports. And it was a shocking change... literally! Every time I touched the back of my case, or a screw on my computer, or the metal parts of my monitors, or the metal parts of the KVM, I got shocked. And not like a little zap, I mean hit with a gooooood dose, enough to go numb and tingle for quite a few minutes afterwords. I thought it was the fault of my new PC's power supply, until I started running through testing when I got zapped. Yes indeed, I did the dummy test. And after I unplugged the 7 port usb hub, all my zappings ended. Oh, and this thing is expensive. And there's a few tiny pixels that don't seem to be receiving the right signal, when plugged into the KVM a few pixels are green instead of being what they should be... but it's only like, 3 pixels out of a few thousand.
Overall Review: Don't be an idiot like me. And the green pixels aren't distracting enough to send this back!
