Editorial Reviews:
Are you an engineer, programmer, graphic artist, power user and any one that needs to control multiple computers without the hassle and expense of multiple mice, keyboards, and monitors?The Belkin OmniCube 4 Port KVM Switch is the most economical solution for controlling four PS/2 computers from one keyboard, mouse and monitor. It support the Microsoft Intellimouse, and video resolutions up to 1600x 1200 with 65 Hz vertical refresh rate. The OmniCube is very compact and small enough to be placed on any desktop without taking up critical work space. For Macintosh or SUN support, simply connect a Belkin Mac or Belkin Sun Adapter for even more system compatibility. The Belkin OmniCube - small in size, but tremendous in features and performance!

Customer Rating: Summary: Great Product! Easy to use and built to last... Comment: I own and have used this KVM for years and it's great! The thing is built rock-solid so it's survived its share of moves and drops. Even if you only have 2 machines, it's nice to have 4 ports in case you want to hook up another machine to troubleshoot or whatnot.
Switching between the 4 ports is also nice and convenient, because in addition to the front-mounted button, you can also just tap the Scroll Lock key twice, followed by the port number 1-4, or the up/down arrows to switch between your machines.
I've used it with various versions of Windows as well as a various Linux distros and have had no issues.
Overall, this thing has been awesome and I'd recommend it to anyone.
My only complaint is that it can only emulate a standard keyboard and Intellimouse-type mouse, but this is a general issue with most all KVMs and probably more due to keyboard and mouse manufacturers not allowing KVM manufacturers to emulate their products.
So if you're new to KVM's, be aware that if you have a fancy keyboard with tons of extra multimedia buttons or you have the latest greatest gaming mouse with tons of extra side buttons, you'll most likely lose that functionality when you plug it into a KVM switch, unless you switch your drivers back to a standard generic mouse/keyboard. Customer Rating: Summary: The handy tool Comment: The Belkin OmniCube KVM 4-port switch is a users dream when working with more than one computer at a time. It takes away from the multiple monitors and lets you move from computer to computer easily and efficient. I recommend this product to any user that uses multiple PC's at once. Great product.
