Works so far

Newegg

  • Pros: It supports 2 monitors, which is hard to find. It switches relatively fast. The picture is normal as I used to have with IO gear KVM. I had to switch because IO gear d...
  • Cons: I have this unit 3 to 4 months. As other reviews pointed out, I have experienced several episodes of freezing. The unit stops responding, the bottom for port 1 remains...

DVI AND VGA?

ComputerGuy, Newegg
14 September 2012
  • Pros: When brand new? Worked perfectly. Fast switching between monitors, speaker assignment to each computer was flawless, and USB KVM switching was fast and relatively pain...
  • Cons: After 11 months the DVI ports stopped working. I thought my video cards had gone bad. Many hours of diagnostics later I confirmed it was the DVI ports on the KVM unit....

Not bad

Tom, Newegg
6 May 2012
  • Pros: Except for the infrequent freeze up, which requires a reset that involves removing the power supply and all usb powered devices from it so that it shuts down, it worke...
  • Cons: I received this as a gift, and it worked fine except for what I stated above, but now the DVI output has died. I've replaced all of the cables and tried 3 different mo...

Linkskey

Anj, Newegg
18 October 2011
  • Summary: INSTALL: painful, didnt recognize all units at first, while previous Linkskey kvm *never* had an issue. New KVM was for DVI connections for new computers.
  • Pros: All 4 work ports work - both monitor ports too. Sound is bad like you'd expect, but don't use that any way.
  • Cons: USB will drop keyboard and mouse fairly often, generally fixed by quick unplug/replug of USB ab cable.

Best I've found, but far from perfect

Erich, Newegg
30 January 2011
  • Summary: - I had to resort to VGA connections (via a DVI-I to VGA adaptor) because the DVI connected monitor would often not wake back up when it had gone into powersave
  • Pros: - This KVM is much more stable than any other 4-port desktop (single or dual monitor) I've used.
  • Cons: - When it does crash (which is rare - thankfully), the port placement makes it really tough to recover. The KVM apparently pulls power from either the DC plug or from ...

  • Pros: Functioned as designed... for a while.
  • Cons: We currently have five of these in our lab. They are about 18 months old and get daily use. At about 12 months the USB ports would suddenly stop working... and that me...

Pricey, but a perfect solution for me

traveler, Newegg
30 November 2009
  • Pros: Needed a dual-monitor KVM solution for 3 separate laptops. All 3 laptops had DVI & VGA out, and I was able to use this device as a solution. Works well right out of th...
  • Cons: The only Con is the high price of the unit, but since Linkskey is they only company with a solution that fit my needs, I only took off one "egg" in my review.

User Review

Newegg
12 August 2008
  • Pros: Cables included, reasonable price for the product.
  • Cons: Since all four cables are separate you end up with a bit of a rat's nest behind the KVM and computers. Some integrated cables might be nice but they'd probably be a ni...
