Summary: Doesn't include cables
Review: Quick warning: This product doesn't include all the cables needed. The reason is simple, it could require either PS/2 cabling or older AT style cables. To save you some time the part numbers for PS/2 mouse/keyboard (modern cables, both are round with 6 pins, usually color code) is A3X982 and for AT Cables is A3X939 (serial mouse (9 pins), larger round keyboard connector) both kits include a 15 pin connector for the monitor.

There are other cable part numbers too (in case you have something that doesn't match this) all listed in the docs that come with this switch box itself.

The box itself works well for a small number of computers (this model is 2 out of the box but you can daisy chain multiple OmniView boxes) though there are better solutions for computer racks with very high numbers of CPUs. You have both a button on the switch box itself and keyboard hotkeys that will let you change from one CPU to another.

I do think this box is probably a little overpriced for a home user who only intends to run 2 computers off this box, but for anyone needing some ability for future expansion this is a wonderful choice.
