 Works with the ThinkPad November 29, 2008
I bought and returned two other KVMPs because they simply didn't work with the Lenovo ThinkPad or its docking station. This one does.
It also easily does everything else it advertises. I like playing music from one computer and working, or switching between another. Also, if your VOIP setup is on one computer, and you are tinkering on another, this setup can be handy.
I have had NO problems with this switch.
USB 2.0 speeds, DVI video, it has all the features I wanted.
GREAT KVMP!!! November 22, 2008
I Have used kvm switches for about 10 years now and this by far is the most effecient switch I Have used.this switch is fully spectd for USB 2.0 I use a wireless keyboard and mouse-one is bluetooth, one is wifi...both are plugged into the KVM switch and work flawlessly....a great product at a good price for anyone needing to have this quality product take care of their KVM needs.....

 Mediocre at best October 15, 2008
This KVM switch is great at displaying high resolutions without any fuzz or ghosting. I'll give it that. But for a KVM switch to be rated high, it must be good at everything. Not just one thing and crappy at others.
For starters, the cables for the mic and speakers are way too short. The KVM cables are very stiff and with that, if you try to plug in the speaker and mic cables, you'll soon find out that they fall out easily.
I saw that someone had already mentioned this but if you restart a computer and you're not on that particular computer, you will run into problems. This KVM switch is great if you have several computers that you work with but don't really need to turn them off and on frequently.
This is definitely not a bench KVM switch to use for PC Techs. This would give you nightmares, I promise.
When I changed to another computer and tried restarting the other, I noticed that when I went back, my mouse was not working and I had to restart the computer once more in order for the mouse to come back.
I guess I'm lucky and can live with these problems since I won't be turning the computer on and off frequently and sparingly do so.
I'll be back when I find more problems.
Great KVM for high-end setups September 29, 2008
This KVM was designed for high-end CAD, CAM, Gaming etc. and it works flawlessly for me. I spent a long time researching different models and very few are really capable of supporting high-end devices. Most KVM devices don't support high resolutions, many don't spoof dvi ports which can cause problems on startup if the device is not focused on the computer as it is being booted. Some, although it seems improbable, only support USB 1.1.
With this setup I am running two computers connecting to a DELL LCD display at 1920 x 1200. The picture is perfect. One of the computers is 25 feet of DVI cable away which is irresponsible of me because that is generally considered too far away to be running at such a high resolution. I am also flagrantly disregarding the USB 2.0 spec by running a USB cable over 15 feet; still it all works perfectly. This in part is probably because I running quality NVIDIA graphics cards and motherboards and I must be getting good signals but still, it's all going through the KVM and it is all working.
Additional points:
1. This KVM supports 1920 x 1200 screen resolution with perfection.
2. It is easy to switch audio, 2-port USB hub, and KVM independently with very simple hotkeys or you can use the buttons on the device if you'd like.
3. USB ports on device support my Wacom tablet and USB 2.0 external hard drives.
4. All the custom buttons on my Logitech keyboard work just fine. Your mileage may vary
5. Great KVM for graphics professionals.
6. The device comes with 4 sets of integrated cables. The quality is excellent. The video cables are as beefy as it gets. The USB and audio cables are fairly thin but the cable integration is very elegant and well thought-out. There are even integrated caps for the audio cables.
7. Unlike many KVMs, this thing looks cool and all cables are in the back of the unit except for one of the USB ports and a bonus mic and headphones ports on the front. Very clean design.
Good luck.
