TRENDnet 4-port DVI KVM rocks!


So I"ve got two PC's and wanted to link them together with my 2005fpw. Little information is out there on dvi kvm's with detailed user information, so many people stay away whether it be price, unknown user friendliness, pixelation problem, USB to ps2 known KVM issues,etc.

So I took a chance and purchased a TRENDnet TK-404KR 4-port DVI KVM for 140 bucks shipped, yeah it's expensive, but compared to others DVI KVM's it's a bargain. Worries were that pixelation would occur from other general dvi kvm user ratings on amazon or dealtime, etc. but not much was known about this one. There's absolutely no delay in mouse or keyboard strokes (I"m using wireless). Video looks exactly as if it were wired straight to the monitor. I didn't have any of problems with USB going to ps2, etc. that many people come across. I was worried, but when hooked up, it fired up without any hesitation. So with that, that's the end of my simple review.
There is a choice for DVI KVM's now.
