Review on Avocent 4 Port USB KVM Switch with Audio and USB 2.0 Hub, supporting DVI connections by Leroy Jacobs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It basically works as advertised

The price of this switch drew me in. All I needed was a switch for video, keyboard and mouse. I don't need audio. As a video and keyboard switcher, it works as advertised. However, with my PowerMac G5 and Mac Mini, it can't handle the Mighty Mouse. Most mouse functions do not work. So I was forced to use two mice. While not too annoying, it does limit the functionality of the switch.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • poorly thought out
