Review on πŸ”— Enhanced SOHO 2-Port KVM Switch by Linksys: DVI & USB Compatibility by Matt Lewis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Does not work with programmable keyboards.

Soho does not work with Avant Stellar (Northgate) or Logitech programmable keyboards. This is the fourth DVI/USB KVM I've bought (Trendnet, IO Gear, and the cheaper Belkin model) and none of them have worked. They only work with standard 101-117 keyboards and not the additional F and G keys. What frustrates me is that I had trouble contacting Belkin CS to ensure Soho would work with my configuration. I was told yes. After receiving it, Belkin CS told me no it won't. Logitech support informed me that they do not guarantee the functionality of their product when used with KVM switches. Belkin is usually a reliable company, but they missed it. Also, the device is too big and the light is too bright. I would recommend the smaller Belkin KVM Switch with a remote button. It was easier to use and took up less space. If it worked I would keep this KVM.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Blank
