The switching and continuity is excellent. Would not work with new HP USB mouse ... pointer would move eratically across screen, but works fine with Compaq USB mouse. The video output is sub-standard ... dim and grayish. Tried with several different Samsung HDTV monitors ... have to turn brightness and sharpness settings to the max to make it workable, but still sub-standard.

I used this in conjunction with a 1U Tripp Lite Monitor/Keyboard Drawer which was less expensive than the higher end model with built in KVM. The pair works great.

What i really liked about this KVM was that I have machines hooked into it that use every and all combinations of PS2, USB, DVI, and VGA...all work great. KVM also allows for keyboard commands to change CPU's so you don't have to worry about having the KVM's buttons easily accessible.
