8PORT KVM Switch: PS/2 1U OSDfor Pc with 4 6FT And 4 10FT Cables

Summary: Excellent Product and Cables included
Review: Easy to set up. Just plug your ps2 beyboard and mouse as well as your VGA monitor into the white area in the back of the IOGEAR device, then connect the included cables to your other devices and to the ports in the back of the IOGEAR device and you are ready to go.
For my installation, there were no problems with either the mouse or keyboard that are common with KVMs and the emulation they use. Everything works as though the computers are connected directly to the Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor. There is a slight delay (.5 second) when switching between computers but this is minimal. The OSD (on screen display) allows you to switch between computers by simply hitting the Control Key twice and then using the arrows to select the appropriate computer and then hitting enter.

Since cables usually cost as much as the kvm, it was nice they were included. I see people spending 250 dollars on ebay for KVM's that are older and without the cables. It seems newer technology is better since they seemed to have worked out the emulation bugs.
The included cables are heavy-duty and molded. The unit also fits into a rack and includeds the hardware to mount it there. Otherwise, it seems sturdy enough to place the monitor on top of.


I highly recommend this unit.
