Summary: Works, but has some minor flaws
Review: I don't know about the prior reviews. I bought it to use it switch between my DVI equipped MAC & PC (under OSX and Win2k/WinXP). I followed the instructions and it worked perfectly. It did what it was intented to do, so I was happy. Besides, it is cheaper and better quality than other DVI switches.

Now, here is the bad part:
1. The spacing of last screw mount of the "Console DVI port" is too close to the casing. I was unable to connect my DVI monitor cable. I called Belkin customer service and they rushed me an DVI extention cable for free.
2. All the DVI, audio, USB cables made the switch dangeously heavy towards the back. But unless you tuck the cables, it will stand.
3. I also found out that wireless keyboard/mouse combo is not supported with this switch. I got around it by connecting combo to the mouse port and connected a mini usb mouse to the keyboard port and the warning beep stopped. But keyboard will not function properly this way, as I can not get to the BIOS boot up screen on PC as the keyboard was not recognized. Once I plug in a wired keyboard, it all worked perfectly.

Again, it has served me reliablely for over 8 months. And with the customer service of Belkin, I am satisfied.

Summary: Avoid Until Further Notice
Review: I received this KVM along with the MS Desktop Elite for Bluetooth (mouse & keyboard) Combo for Xmas. Upon installing the KVM with all the cables needed and the no-keyboard firmware update I came to find out that I could NOT switch between the two computers. The KVM just sits there with the 1st computer light blinking rapidly and pressing the buttons does NOT work. Other than the fact that it doesn't not switch (the entire purpose of a KVM) this is a good product. The video, keyboard & mouse all work great on CPU1 input. I have emailed tech support but they haven't been very good at all with replying back to my messages!! DON'T buy this!

Summary: Do Not Buy!
Review: This product should be pulled off the market. Getting it to work with two computers is rarely possible, especially if one is a Mac and the other a PC. Sometimes the keyboard is not recognized unless you plug it into the extra USB port instead of the one marked for the keyboard. But if you do this you will be presented with an annoying and loud chirping sound. Belkin technical support sometimes admits that they have a firmware update that can fix it, though other times they deny they have any updates for it at all. Unexplained flickering of the digital video output often occurs. I have also seen where the DVI output from one video card prevents that computer from booting, but only when attached to this KVM switch! Save your money and your hair and skip this model KVM switch.
