Average Reviews:

It seems like a very adequate KVM switch.There is no lag between PC switching that others have complained about with other USB KVMs.One annoying thing that it does is beep everytime you switch PCs.Other Belkin KVMs have firmware updates that turn off the beep, but this one is too new to have any updates yet.I talked to Belkin tech support and they are reporting it, so hopefully a firmware update will allow you to toggle it off.Pretty stupid that they added it to other KVMs and not this one...Other than that, it's just large. They made the buttons huge and it makes the whole thing about 13 inches long.

Pros
-audio and microphone switching
-can switch KVM and audio independently (work on one PC while listening to music from another)
-4 good quality (color coded) cables included
-very little lag-time between switching
Cons
-Annoying beep when switching
-large footprint

***UPDATE*** - I came across a solution to the annoying beep/chirp.The hotkey sequence scrlk+scrlk+B toggles the beep.Funny that Belkin Tech support couldn't provide this solution and it is not in the manual anywhere.

Other than that, I've had this KVM for about 6 months with hardly anyproblems.Every now and again it will lose the connections for the mouse and keyboard, but bouncing power to the KVM for a second seems to fix it.It has probably only happened 3 or 4 times in 6 months.I'm happy with it.
