Reliable KVM Switch

[kmac]

Anyone know of a really good KVM switch (DVI).

The problem I have with mine is the USB bits ( keyboard/mouse) tend to hang and I have to re-boot the PC to resolve.

I am currently using two ports of a 4 Port Avocent DVI KVM switch with USB
This one:

Avocent UK -SwitchView DVI 4-port KVM Switch

What I might have to resort to is just using it for Video (as I only have one screen) and buying another keyboard and mouse

Switching is between my PC and Mac Mini.

I'm not generally a Belkin fan, but their KVM switches are pretty good.

Welcome to Belkin - OmniView™ SOHO Series

The Belkin switches don't support DVI and higher resolutions....


Oops no they do: Belkin F1DD102UEAB - Belkin Omniview Soho Series 2-port Dvi Kvm Switch

I have a Belkin KVM but it is VGA and to be fair never had any issues with it

I've got the Belkin VGA/PS2 KVM and its been brilliant with what I've thrown at it - so I can recommend them. The only caveat is that I haven't used that particular model - so can't say for definite, but on the whole their products are pretty good

Given the Belkin DVI version is well over a £100 I might persevere with what I have (Avocent DVI) for a while.

Actually, I found out that if the keyboard or mouse is not recognised on switching, I just need to unplug and replug the USB connector from the KVM switch to the machine. Since the switch is on my desk this is not a big deal.
