If you mean a KVM switch that will handle the use of USB Keyboards and Mice plus your Video, then I'd suggest the Iogear KVM box. They cost a little more, but are worth it.

You can find them at Tiger Direct (http://www.tigerdirect.com/)

Belkin's are the best (IMHO):

Nokujin ,
You dont' like the Linksys that I use? Well it works fine for me, I just have an issue with it on a linux box. For some reason my linux doesn't like using the same mouse, that is why you see me using 2 different ones. But it works for keyboard.

From my experience, if you get the Belkin, be sure to get a power supply for it as well. There are times that something funky happens with the voltage and the "self-powered" kvm becomes a bit flaky.

For me, it's a PITA because the kvm is on the floor behind my desk here at home. At work, it's on the desktop so is not too much of an issue. :)

I have a belkin KVM that works great!

I would reccomend shopping at mWave (http://www.mwave.com) they have pretty damn good prices and I have yet to have any problems with anything I have purchased from them, but according to others if you do have a problem, they are a dream to deal with regarding rma's.

Maybe it's the batch that was sold here in Lexington ... both had issues of just not responding. Would happen about once every couple of weeks.
