kvm switch

Can anyone recommend a good 4 port kvm switch?

Check this oneout. It is a belkin. I read a review of it somewhere, but I can't find it now. They said that it worked flawlessly. I also like the fact that you can switch usb mice too.

I have a Belkin Omniview Se and it's great I have not had one bad boot up and monitor resolution is great! The one that Jcmkk recommends looks very nice, I love the USB options and the sound options mine does not have that !

THG did a KVM review here

I have a belkin omniview as well and it does the job nicely. Make sure you get good quality cables for minimal video degradation.

I second what jorken said. The first time I used my omniview I noticed wavey lines all over my screen. Good quality cables was the only way to eliminate the distortion.

Belkin works great, just got a two port one here with the space age silvery type appearance

For just keyboard, video, and PS/2 mouse, without needing USB switching, I would highly recommend the Belkin Omniview E series (different from SE). I replaced a 4-port Linksys ProConnect with this Belkin about 5 months ago and I'm very happy I did. Check out the specs:

I bought it for about $120 a bit after it first came out and pricematched it with Dell in November, $85 at the time. Dell still might have it for $85 or so. EDIT: Actually $83 now: Dell

Belkin is the way to go.

I have a cheap 4 port PS/2 Startech KVM switch (cables included) and it hasn't given me any problems yet.
