Summary: Can you say: Rip-Off!!!
Review: I'm evaluating this one, and discovered that this KVM has NO cables?!?! How can you use a KVM without cables. The DVI cables from Belkin cost like $80. This raises the price to over $500 for full functionality. Rip Off!!!
Lastly, I heard so many horror stories about poor performance, bad video, connectivity, and also that the cables block the USB ports.
Seems that Belkin doesn't quite have a clue with this product...

Summary: Everything is wrong about this product
Review: I'm extremely unhappy with the Belkin OmniView SOHO Series 4-Port KVM DVI Switch with Audio. 1) It is nearly impossible to connect a cable to the console DVI Connector. Belkin had to overnight a special extender to connect the monitor DVI cable to the KVM.
2) Connecting the Power Adapter to the KVM blocks one of the peripheral USB ports.
3) It's absolutely impossible to put on the cover (i.e. cable management cover) if you connect the four (Belkin) cables to it.
4) Connecting only two PCs with a resolution of 1600x1200 to the KVM resulted in green shadows for one connection. (both NVidia cards GeForce 4 (4200 series) and a Geforce 5 (5200 series)
5) The Microsoft Wireless Keyboard doesn't work as stated in the manual. I did manage to plug in the wireless dongle connector to the USB mouse port on the KVM but now I can't use the hotkeys to switch between computers. Belkin has also indicated that wireless keyboards don't always work as stated in the manual 6) There isn't a FAQ or software/firmware upgrade listed for this device. That was a shock.
