Just bought and received (within 2 days of purchase) the D-Link DVKM-4K 4-Port KVM switch.(I have an additional third cable that does not come with the switch). I'm using it at home with two desktops and a laptop with a port replicator. Been using the switch at work in a small server room. We never had a problem with it. Actually got used to hearing the beep so we never disabled it. Tried to disable the beep at home, but toggle in the instructions doesn't work. No big deal. Monitor is a Dell 17" flat screen LCD. There is no image degradation. Mouse (PS2)and keyboard (PS2) are responsive. I recommend this product.

I expected a high quality product from D-Link. This products exceeded my expectations.
It did good.

There is an annoying beep emitted from the box when switching between computers. What is even more annoying is that the manual says the beep s/b turned of when entering SL SL + B but the toggling does not work. What is most annoying is that I found another reviewer (not on Amazon) with the same problem....so it appears to be a design defect.

I called their help line and got a moron and it took me over 20 minutes to explain the situation to him (after waiting almost an hour in the queue). His only advice was to return it and get a new one....but as stated above, I think this is a design defect.

Still in all it is better the IOGear KVM and the Belkin KVM both of which I returned for defects in the major functionalities.
