 Do Not Buy This Product December 23, 2008
This product is AWFULL! It worked OK for 2 weeks, got prgressivley slower (when switching from one computer to the other) then died after using it for about one month. I feel I was robbed. Will never buy another product from Iogear again.
 Very nice, very convenient KVMA December 11, 2008
Having previously owned IOGEAR's 8-port MiniView (non-USB), at first I was concerned that this device did not have an external supply or an On-Screen Display (OSD), because I had been spoiled by the convenience of the OSD vs. pressing buttons, and because the 8-port device isn't reliable w/o external power.
I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by how well this 4-port KVMA works. It operates very transparently - it automatically switches to the first machine you boot (very convenient for me, as 90% of the time I only have one machine in use), and the audio worked so flawlessly I went a full 30 minutes of testing it out without even realizing that it was switching!
The only complaint I have, and the reason I gave 4 stars not 5, is that during boot up, my mouse isn't always powered. This made it annoying to log in to the Windows Welcome screen on my first boot - the screen was up, but the mouse wasn't, at first... it took a little while. But that was only on the very first boot up. Fortunately my mouse lights up when its powered, so it was easy enough to tell what the problem was. If your mouse doesn't, I could see how this could get very frustrating.
 Does an OK job December 9, 2008
The console looks nice. Switching between computers is quite easy. Why the 3 stars then? Because it degrade the video quality and this is with only 2 computers connected. I am running 1280 x 1024 on a 18" LCD. It's very obvious that the display is more blur now.
Didn't work as advertised November 23, 2008

IOGEAR said this would work with most wireless keyboards and mice but I couldn't get it to work with a USB keyboard and mouse. IOGEAR tech support said it was probably a defective unit and Amazon refunded the full amount and paid return postage. I didn't chance trying another one and instead used a software switcher from KAVOOM, which works acceptably for my 3 systems.
 Very nice...it worked for me. November 4, 2008

This thing worked out of the box. I've connected it to a wireless mouse and a wired keyboard to control 2 desktops and a laptop (XP, win2k3, win2k8). You can control switching of the audio by itself which is nice if you want to listen to audio being played on one computer, while working on another computer. I recommend this to anyone.
