    Default KVM Advice

    Good afternoon DB crowd.

    I come in the search for some advice on what is a good KVM and what is not.
    I recently started multi-boxing again (or atleast trying to get ISBoxer working )

    When getting started I ordered this KVM Switch
    http://www.lindy.ie/kvm-switch-compa...ort/32797.html
    Upon it's arrival I foolishly realise its a USB1 KVM Switch, so it's really slow, takes about 3 seconds to swap over to the other PC and the software leaves much to be desired. I read later that some of the new KVM software allows the mouse to trigger the swap when moving it from one screen to the other.
    I also noticed that when swapping the keyboard that I have (Logitech G19) it takes some time for it to re-load the profiles. This I assume makes the process even slower. Does anyone know a way around this?

    I was therefor wondering if anyone has had any good experience with hardware and software as far as KVM's go.
    I'm looking for something I can order that is not super expensive but will be as quick and painless as possible in excecution.
    I use three monitors if that matters but they are hooked up to two different PC's. I'm mainly looking for the keyboard/mouse swap.

    Software - Input Director. its great.

    Hardware - Belkin Omniview Pro2 (8 or 16 port). These aren't made anymore, but if you can fine one they are awesome. Fast switching and support USB AND PS/2 per port (so you can mix)

    I've looked into Belkin as they seem to have a few KVM solutions that are quite interesting.

    I have been looking at

    And

    I have a hard time figuring out which one would be best for what we usually do with multi-boxing however. Any ideas?
