The Bottom Line:
Buy this unit if you're looking for a usb kvm switch that works flawlessly.
This is a very good 2-port, full usb, kvm (keyboard, video, mouse) switch. It allows two usb computers (of any kind including Windows, Apple, and Linux) to share a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I bought this product mainly because it was COMPLETELY usb, no ps/2 stuff which is going the way of the dodo. The case is made of a heavy, sturdy metal which is good because it weighs it down with all of those heavy cables attached.
I have an Apple iBook G4 933Mhz system and fully loaded. My second computer is a PC running Red Hat Linux 7.3. My keyboard is a Logitech internet explorer, my mouse a logitech, usb, non-optical three-button model and my monitor is a ViewSonic P815.
The switching is done completely on the unit itself. There is no "keyboard-switching" which a lot of other people complain. Personally I prefer it on the unit itself anyways.
The most beautiful aspect of this unit is that all of the keyboard functions work flawlessly on my iBook (including the iTunes controls which I can't live without). It also worth mentioning that the middle-button works fine with UNIX applications. I have also had very bad luck with usb hubs at home with my Apple iBook. There are no issues with this unit (possibly because it is a switch, not a hub). The unit is well worth the money.
A few additional notes... It is imperative that you connect the cables in the following order: ac adaptor first, then keyboard and mouse, and finally the monitor and two computers. It did not work otherwise (with Linux that is). Also of note is the color of the lights on the unit. Keep in mind that the red is the active computer and the green the not-active. This is counter-intuitive but you get used to it.
