This is great if you want to move your workstation away where the physical computer and its noisy fans and hard drives are located. Alternatively this is great if you need to physically secure and lock the computer away from public access.Video quality seems very nice. I've been using it at 1280x1024 over a 100 meter cable and see no video problems. Framerate, color depth, and clarity is unaffected since this uses analog transmission and not digital re-encoding as other KVM-over-IP devices may do.
With the audio, when amplification on remote speaker volume is turned up you can hear faint noise when the mouse is moved. I can work around this by reducing my remote speaker volume and instead turn up the soundcard volume output instead. However, this indicates that there is not perfect elimination of signal interference.
If you have an extended keyboard or mouse with extra media buttons or navigation buttons, be aware that they may not be supported and will have no effect. The product manual mentions this limitation.
I also tried plugging a USB hub and other devices into the remote USB ports, but devices other than mouse and keyboard do not appear to be supported--this is fine since the manufacturer does not claim otherwise, but just don't expect to be able to use other USB devices.
Despite these limitations, this is a great device for remotely locating your keyboard, mouse, monitor and audio away from the computer.
