I'm real picky about my hardware, and have been searching online for about a week for a quality KVM to be used at my place. I have a couple that I am looking at, but as I imagine this is a somewhat common device for our forum members, wanted some input on switches you may already have. There are a few things I am looking for....
- USB Support - my peripherals (mouse, keyboard) are both USB
- At least 2, maybe 4 ports. I'm a little on the fence with this one, but so far from my experience the cost difference is slim, so I may lean towards 4 to allow for expansion.
- Audio - I essentially want to have one set of speakers, capable of providing for all connected machines
- Software switching - I am big into cable management, and would love to tuck this away behind some other items. I want to be able to change via hotkeys on the keyboard rather than hitting buttons on the interface
- External Cabling - I do NOT want attached cables, that is messy if they are not in use.
