Pros: Best switchbox Ive seen. Cons: Seems Expensive. Way too Expensive!
I cannot believe what this thing costs! It was $200 for the four port model. The two port model is still $150 if you can believe that! I’ve seen older, non powered four PC switchboxes selling new for $28, and maybe even for $10 less at computer shows!...
Pros: Plug and play as it should be, cool design Cons: None
Belkin USB 4-Port Hub (F5U101)
At last a computer product that does what it says it does and works the way it is supposed to!
I was sceptical to say the least about USB (universal serial bus) ports when they first started to appear on...
Pros: Easy to setup, Belkin's reputation. Cons: none
My previous employer allowed us to work at home, and gave us a desktop and monitor. At my request they bought a Belkin 2 way KVM switch, at the time retailing for approximately $300. When I changed jobs, I ended up with 3 desktops of my own, plus a...
Pros: Good concept; works with straight PS/2 mouse Cons: DOES NOT WORK WITH INTELLIMOUSE!
The Belkin Omnicube (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=56&pcount=&Product_Id=12900&Section.Section_Path=%2FRoot%2FPeripheralSharing%2FKVMSwitches%2F) is a KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switcher. It...
Pros: Supports up to four computers, solid construction Cons: Problems with Intellimouse, keyboard hotkey switching is erratic
I have two computers, one running Windows Me and one running Linux Mandrake, which I wanted to use with one keyboard, monitor and mouse. Belkin has a good reputation so I purchased this unit and two cable sets.
Pros: Convenient! Easy to install. Cheaper and requires less room than two monitors, keyboards and mice. Cons: Cables not included. Scroll Lock key mildly annoying at times.
A Pentium III running 98se on my desk and a NT 4.0 server rackmounted in the corner of my tiny office. The Omni Cube 4-port makes my life easy.
A small black box with a reasonably small footprint happily sits on my desk (and doesn't clash...
Pros: Needed functionality for special situations Cons: Manual switching, price
KVM, or Keyboard Video Monitor, is an essential device for the true geek, or for people who need to run/monitor multiple systems simultaneously. Essentially, KVMs are devices that let you control multiple computers with a single Keyboard, Mouse, and...
Pros: Great Space Saver, Great For Testing Machines, Easy To Use, Very Nice Cons: Must Buy Cables For Each Comp., Does Not Work With MS Intellimouse
Picture Of My OmniCube As It Sits: http://lilviv.com/vivcomps/switches.jpg
I had two monitors, two keyboards, two mice, two towers and all their trimmings crammed around the desk in my bedroom in my apartment. That got way too crowded, way...
Pros: Powerful USB capabilities Cons: Has to wait for Extensions to load.
Being a proud owner of one of the early generation Beige G3's I had to take the intiative to buy my own USB card! I've also wanted to get a monochrome laser USB printer and a USB game pad for emulators. This led me to buy my four port PCI USB card. It...
Pros: Easy to set up, attractive, affordable Cons: Sometimes not as reliable in switching as I would like
I have a desktop and a laptop and wanted a KVM switch so that I could use a single monitor, keyboard and mouse. After extensive shopping, I chose the Belkin OmniCube, primarily because Belkin is a known brand.
Pros: Super easy to install, great picture quality, keystroke shortcuts to switch computers. Cons: 4 good cables cost as much or more than the unit itself
I bought this unit with doubts about extending the monitor cable and not losing visual clarity. All my doubts were put to rest less than 10 minutes after I took the package from the UPS delivery man. The price is very low for what it offers and the...
This four port USB hub is as easy to use as an extension cord. Just plug it in to any open USB port and voila you have just turned one USB port into four USB ports.
It is also compact and attractive. It is not really necessary that your USB...
Pros: VERY Simple to use. Cons: None, it works great!
I use this little switch at work for the two workstations we use for database input and internet research. Not too long ago one of our workstations went down and I had the duty of repairing and reinstalling all of the software. What a drag...that is,...
Pros: Saves desk space Cons: Only one button to switch between ports, doesn't work well with USB-to-PS2 mice
I recently purchased the OmniCube 4 port KVM switch because I was going to run some tests and set up a new Windows NT domain on a separate network. I didn't want to have 4+ monitors, mice, and keyboards, so a KVM switch seemed like the best solution....
