H2O Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 As the topic states I'm looking for a KVM which also takes in usb devices [My mouse is a wireless usb.] Is there such a KVM box? If there is, what are some of the good brands? TIA PS. I know that I can plug in the usb to ps/2 adpater, but that's not what I want to do. I already checked the big 3 - Linksys, D-Link and Netgear.

DevilMB3017 Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Have you checked out Belkin's website? They have a wide selection of KVM switches, but quiet a few cost a pretty penny. Good luck looking, if I have some time, I'll look around for ya too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theArmy Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 NO NOT buy a belkin KVM. I have one at work, and it is the worst KVMs I've ever used. Everytime you change boxes, it chirps. No cords fit right into it (I had to cut some of the plastic boot off my VGA cable just to get it in). I've had nothing but problems with it. In fact, I think Im going to go through it out the window right now . . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I've got an 8 port Belkin OmniView Pro, and have had absolutly no problems with it. We also have several similar models here at work, and again no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Thanks for the responses everyone and I appreciated the link from D3. At least now I know that they do exist Just got to find myself a good one! EDIT: I was just looking at the prices for the boxes on D3's link. They are quite steep for only a USB KVM! I might have to look into an alternative until these prices come down. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignan Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 I doubt the prices will come down, I was just wondering why not PS/2? It's quite a bit cheaper and easier to find. If you are looking for KVM's trendware has the best/cheapest ones I know of, I own two and they are great, but htey only make PS/2 models. IOGear is great too and they are the cheapest 4port USB KVM I have found in all my searching. http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc....-107-404&depa=0 I know it's on D3 site, but I really think either go PS/2 or you are stuck with the price tag.
