Summary: Great Product - easy to install, compact size!
Review: I am using this switch with one P-150 MHz and a P4-1.4 GHz with a non PS/2 keyboard... no problem connecting the keyboard through the adapter included in the kit. Switching between computers is easy. Before buying the kit I was concerned about possible ghosting/other deterioration in graphics display quality...... Did not see any change with the kit.Initially, I made the mistake of buying the PS/2 version (PS2KVM) - it does not work unless both computers have PS/2. Overall: great product, easy to install, comes with all parts needed and good instructions, and is very compact in size.

Summary: lINUX AND THE lINKSYS KVM
Review: I get the Linksysy kvm, and the first time it, work great in a Compaq Proliat running Windows 2000 Server and in Compaq Presario running Linux Red hat 7.2.
but when I restart the linux bos for th first time, the mouse din't came back, it was really crazy, making stranges moves, but I resolve the problem edint this two files
File path /etc/X11/XF86Config I changed the section entitled "Section "Pointer"" and the line below to: Protocol "IMPS/2" File path /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I changed the section entitled "Section "InputDevice"" and the line below to: Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" This solved both the erratic mouse pointer problem and enabled scrolling.

Summary: Good, with some bugs
Review: I have a desktop and a laptop that I use this KVM for. Works fine with the desktop; it uses ps/2 connections for the mouse and keyboard. My laptop (a Dell) makes it a little more interesting. Since there's only one ps/2 port on the back for a keyboard OR a mouse, I use the serial port to hook the mouse up via the provided ps/2 to serial adapter. This makes for strange mouse operation, as I think the emulation is a bit off. If I click something, I have to move the mouse before the click "takes effect". Also, the mouse doesn't move nearly as fluidly as when I plug one directly into the ps/2 port or usb port (I have both kinds). Once in a while, the KVM switches randomly to the other machine which can make playing games a little stressful. The cords provided with the KVM are very rigid; they don't flex very well and can make it difficult to hook up sometimes. Overall, it's an ok product; I'm just glad I got my company to pay for it and not me.

Summary: Not bad for its cost
Review: I have plenty of monitors, so not seeing any ghost effect or anything. Only using it to share the keyboard and mouse between two computers, keyboard works great, almost instant switching, but have to wait for about 3 second to use the mouse. Otherwise, this thing works great, the cables are long enough, and it comes with AT/ps2 and serial/ps2 converters, overall, pretty happy with this thing.

Summary: My NYC apt is too small for two monitors!
Review: I hooked up both computers and was up and running in 5 mins. Hit the CTRL key twice to switch monitors. The biggest problem, as many other reviewers noted, is the KVM switch tries to capture the double CTRL key press. This causes a delay before the CTRL key is detected by your computer. Since I hold the CTRL key down to select multiple items from Explorer and other apps, this can be somewhat annoying. Also, I now have to be careful not to press the CTRL key fast twice by mistake which happens alot when I'm playing a game or doing multi-select. I would have preferred a configurable switch and the ability to turn CTRL key switching off. Other than that, this is an excellent KVM switch for the price. I've had no problems with ghosting at 1024x768 resolution. Comes with nice space saving cables. The ports only accept PS/2 style mice and keyboards. However, the kit comes with a serial-to-PS/2 adapter. You might be able to get a USB-to-PS/2 adapter. I got a new DELL computer with a USB keyboard and mouse but I had to use my old PS/2 keyboard and mouse instead.
