    My review:

    I wouldn't use it. It requires software to be installed, and requires Windows to be in use on the computers. If these are not a problem for you, then this would not apply. Also, some users reported a lag of 5 seconds for the keyboard to become active. That would also not be an acceptable condition for me. With KVM switches, you generally get what you pay for. The really cheap ones may not be worth the aggravation. It may also depend on how often you switch betwee computers. I switch between computers on my 4 port KVM all the time, and the computers may not all be running Windows.

    I've used many KVM's and never had a lag... Also, some KVM's allow you to share one set of speakers..so you might want to keep that in mind.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    Whatever you get make SURE it comes with the cables. Believe me, they are a spendy addition.

    yes it do .4 vga and 4 audio .etc.etc .
    not bad for all of this .
    right now i have to take care of all my fans [rosewill] the dem thing only come with 3 pins connector .
    and only one 3 pin on the motherboard .none on the porwe supply .
    why are they making led fans with 3 pins connector anyway .
    they are nice fan but by the time you buy the cable [molex and 3 pns .a one molex and 4- 3 pins are 6.99 .
    no more rosewill fans for me .never
