KVM switch

[Mabrito]

Im setting up a server and would like to use a KVM switch so I can use my keyboard and mouse on both the server and main pc I use. My keyboard and mouse are USB. I really dont care much about the video because my monitor takes both VGA and DVI and can switch the two. The problem I have though, I cant seem to find any KVM switchs that also output to both PC's in USB. I want the switch to take USB inputs and also output in USB. Reason for this is because I have a 680i motherboard for my main computer and everyone at the EVGA forums say the PS/2 ports have input lag. Are there any such switches? Or at least output to USB to one computer?

This is the one I use:
IOGEAR GCS632U 2-Port USB PLUS KVM Switch with Built-in KVM Cables and Audio Support

Except I only paid $15 for it, lol. It works fine for me.

Ah thanks. Im looking at the Belkin one. So even though there is only one USB connector for each computer, that USB connector will have both the keyboard and mouse going through it?

Yup. The KVM acts as a USB hub, so only one USB cable is needed per computer.

try to find a KVM that has usb and dvi support under $100 is nearly impossible.. majority of them are still d-sub, sad.

Are there any good KVM switches at all? It seems all of them have problems.

This is the one I'm looking at right now, but it only has one review and I can't tell if both computers need to be on for it to work. I really only want to use one computer at a time while leaving the other off.

That one's good, but it doesn't have audio. Also, I tried this one and it seems like almost every other review is bad.

Also, one reviewer for your KVM switch says to save your $ and get an Iogear......hmmmmmm, interesting.

OK, what do you guys think about me forgetting the KVM audio and just getting a Y-connector for the one speaker cord I have coming from my 2.1 system and splitting it and running to each sound card on the respective computers? If that is indeed a good idea, then I'm looking at getting an Iogear one (PS/2 mouse, PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor only) from Wal-Mart, BestBuy, etc. instead of buying online so I can take it right back if it fails really soon.
