Rating: Summary: ***It's the Best Value*** Review: This device works great. The best thing is the kit comes with everything that is needed in order to make the switch work immediately. There is no need to buy additional cables with this product.
Rating: Summary: Mediocre product and poor support Review: This product does not work well with mice through a serial adapter. I attempted to contact their tech support by e-mail for a possible resolution to this issue, but have not recieved a response at all. This product comes with a PS/2 to serial adapter, but it is not until you read the user manual (ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pdf/kvm.pdf) that you find that mice which switch between PS/2 and Serial emulation are not supported.This is the second LinkSys switch I purchased and the second I had problems with. The first, a PS/2 only model, I couldn't use with my laptop because it only had one PS/2 port. LinkSys advertises this product as a solution for laptop users, however I feel the ad is erroneous given the product doesn't work well with serial emulation, and most laptops can only support a single PS/2 device, which you must use for the keyboard.
Rating: Summary: Ghosts Review: Using this product, I see signal degradation that produces a very slight "ghost" effect. It's very slight, and some people might not notice it. But since I stare at my monitor all day everyday, I will be returning this product and trying another brand.
