The Port Authority2 4-Port USB and PS2 KVM Switch can control up to
four computers with a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. For

of which computer is selected. Best of all, it comes with all the
cables you need. There is nothing extra to buy!

Better than units costing much more.

"I've got about 15 of these installed in our small office. They work well most of the time, but occasionally need to be reset. The reset button is located on the back so it's very difficult for end users to get to. If you are using a USB keyboard, the switch will not take commands from it, you'll have to use the buttons to switch. Another con is that the USB hub defaults to floating after a power outage.

"Would not ever recommend this product. I cannot select between operating systems on my dual boot computer. It will not let me select to "boot from cd drive" when reinstalling operating systems and always locking up on me switching between other computers to my Vista PC. Talked to tech support and that was no help. I need to always have a spare keyboard and mouse when I am using this which defeats the purpose. My..." Read Full Review »

"This switch works perfectly with an IBM T60 docking station and an older HP desktop. I use two monitors with one keyboard and mouse.

"I have been through many kvm's over the years. With new units being digital video and PS/2 needed to upgrade.
