Re: KVM switches

["rb_ziggy" <richard.boreham@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I looked at the Belkin but was disuaded due to reports of
difficulties with the switching.  I eventually got the Linksys
Proconnect Integrated.

Very happy with this, absolutely no probs at all and switches neatly
using a double tap on scroll lock.  (Some others seem to use the
control key - if you use control codes like ctrl-c & V etc, this can
be a real issue!)

Quality is excellent, even at 1280 x 1024 on a flat screen I cannot
see any difference or detect any key lag. It even looks rather nice
(although it lives under my desk, cable-tied to a leg!)

Regards

Richard
