Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great switchWe have had the KVM switch for several years and it has worked flawlessly. Setup was very straightforward. The user manual is laid out very logically and is easy to follow. The USB/PS2 connections were a major selling point for me as I have some equipment that still uses PS2 ports. Having the PS2 connections built into the cable is much more reliable than having an adapter plugged in the end of the USB cable. I have been very satisfied with the switch and would buy it again.
