🔒 Enhance Control and Efficiency with Linkskey Prima IP 8-Port USB/PS2 IP KVM Switch 19-Inch Rackmount 1U with OSD and Daisy Chain (LKV-9208IP) Review

Like. My only complaint is that most cables are only 6 feet long instead of 10 feet. It only includes 2 10ft cables! Anyone connecting a rack to one of these will have a hard time doing so with only 6 feet of cable! I was only able to use one of these and ended up having to order additional 10ft cables. It was very annoying. The KVM must be shipped with 10ft cables! That's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.

Computer Advisor. I use this on my test bench to run 8 PCs at the same time. And yes, I have a million wires on the test bench. but only ONE keyboard and mouse. Some BIOS programs do not want to detect the keyboard or mouse. but not many. To do this I sometimes have to connect a keyboard/mouse directly to the PC/server. But not often.

This is a great set for the price. It includes the rack ears plus all the cables you need to get started. I didn't realize myself that 2 of the 8 cables were 10 feet long, so that was a pleasant surprise.

Perfect for my lab tests. It responds quickly to the screen change from PC to PC. I reduced the number of mice and keyboards.

The description says "Permanent full DDC/EDID emulation for video compatibility and stability" but the video was not stable. The device came with a printed user manual that asked you to switch to a computer before booting. The permanent full DDC/EDID emulation is designed to ensure that the connected monitor's signal is emulated to the computer, even if you haven't switched to it before booting. I also had inconsistent video behavior even when selecting a computer before downloading. At times…

I had to move 3 different devices back and forth until I got one that just barely worked. It will not work with a wireless mouse/keyboard. Also, THIS KEY FREES. I'm typing really fast and it seems like someone introduced a delay into the system and every now and then the keystrokes don't even reach the computer. Repeated calls to the supplier some time ago (over a year ago) no real results except "This is a firmware limitation and the firmware cannot be updated." I really hate this thing and…

This switch installs in minutes. Worked great following the instructions which were very easy to follow. The cables that came with it were of good quality and just the right size for us. This switch replaced an old KVM switch that initially never worked and eventually failed. We installed the switch and it has been working great for over a month now. Excellent product and price. Would recommend this switch.

a bit old-fashioned, but I wouldn't change anything. The lights tell you where you are so you can't hide it on a shelf like the others. If you have space in front of the counter, that helps.

That's pretty much what you'd expect. The output video is a bit blurry, I've been playing around with the refresh rate on the monitor and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I've tried different monitors, same results on all inputs. I've also tried using a wireless keyboard and mouse with a USB socket for the device and that only works for the keyboard, not the mouse. I had to use a separate wireless mouse with a separate USB port. It really works, so don't expect perfection for the…
