I had this up & running in less than 5 minutes! I love it!
The only drawback is no audio ports. I spoke with the company,
I was told it will possibly be in a new model.

Awesome product with Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.5
After reading the reviews on this KVM switch, I decided to replace an older iogear one that didn't work with Mac OS X. Am I glad I did! Granted the ConnectPro switch cost more, it was definitely worth it. As soon as I plugged in the power and corresponding cables, both computers were recognized and switching is as easy as pressing a button on the front of the box. The Mac switches instantly, while the PC takes an additional second or so, but it really is not noticeable. One other thing to note--both of my computers are laptops, and the secondary display works great, especially with my 26" 1080p LCD TV. The additional USB ports are also handy. I have a 7-port USB hub hooked up and everything works great!
All in all, this product is a 10/10. You get what you pay for, so spend a little more and be truly satisfied with your purchase. I know I am!

Great product
It's always a pleasure to buy something that does what you expect. I'm glad I didn't go the "cheap" route on this.
Works where others won't!
I searched for days before I found this switch, and I'm more than happy with it. I needed a KVM switch that would work with my wireless keyboard and mouse, which share a single USB connection. Most of the KVM switches I looked at would not work with that arrangement. This one does, and does it flawlessly! It also has an extra port (actually two, since I don't need the separate one for the mouse) that I can plug my USB printer and web cam into. Setup was easy and completely hassle free. The included cables are good quality and plenty long enough. The unit is well-built, durable, and heavy enough to stay where you put it. Operation is easy and fast, just press the button. Note that because this switch just passes USB inputs through rather than trying to filter them, there is no hot-key switching and no on-screen display, but I didn't really want those anyway. The only (minor) annoyance is that every time you switch computers Windows thinks you have unplugged/plugged in a new USB device, plays its little sound, and shows a popup message by the system tray. You can supposedly turn off those notifications in Windows, but it isn't enough of a bother for me to do it.
Overall an outstanding product at a reasonable price.

Good KVM
This KVM works fine with my DELL wireless keyboard and mouse. It doesn't work with the Logitech ps/2 keyboard with ps/2 to USB converter though. In general it's a stable KVM without any big problem.
