It was recommended to me here on this list. I installed a year ago and forgot about it. It only does keyboard switching, however. But, the key combo is Ctl+Shift+Alt+port number - not too likely that it will interfere with other hotkeys I would think. This is the small unpowered heart-shaped unit with 4 attached cables - they have other models as well. It handles high frequency video without a hitch, which is also a consideration... I run mine at 1600X1200 but it is supposed to go higher. -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
