Good value, reliable operation
Rating: 5/5
I'm quite happy with this KVM. It switches reliably using the front panel buttons or hot keys scrlk + scrlk + (desired port #1-8)
The only hotkey annoyance is that it won't take the port number assignment from the number pad (reliably on my wireless natural keyboard). I have to use the top row numbers. This makes hot-key switching a two-handed operation, but it's quite fast and reliable.
Great value/ works well
Rating: 5/5
5 stars because of the great value. Other 8 port switches are double the price. I needed a cheap 8 port KVM switch and took a chance on this one. It works great; you can switch either by hitting a button on the switch or using a hotkey combo on the keyboard. Does not include cables.
