I've used a few before. Most recently, the iogear two port works very well for me with X running and switching between a XP Pro box and a Linux system. I don't lose the mouse; dont have to switch to a console. The two port iogear PS/2 kvm's are very reasonable in price and they support a lot of different mouse controls. I'm using a cordless optical MS mouse which never gets lost. I've also used a MS trackball explorer and its worked flawlessly. There is an older 4 port iogear which will not support my mouse correctly. I've found the two port iogear at amazon for around 25.00 with shipping included. -- Michael Perry | do or do not.
