I've always looked at a KVM switch as an unnecessary luxury. In typical guy fashion I was perfectly content with having keyboards and mice strung everywhere similar to the table full of remote controls for the various electronics connected to my television. My realization of the need for a KVM occurred after spending 20 minutes searching the stack of wireless keyboards to find the one connected to the server I was working on. In that moment of frustration I decided it was the perfect time to buy new toys and a KVM switch was something I could not live without. After doing research on what was important in a switch I concluded the ConnectPRO DVI switch was the way to go. At first I was focused strictly on the types of video connections thinking all switches were the same. That is definitely not the case. Having a keyboard switch with Dynamic Device Mappng (DDM) was extremely important. DDM allows for better emulation of USB devices especially keyboards which have a tendency to be somewhat temperamental when shared.The ConnectPRO arrived quickly and was well packaged with great instructions. In a deviation that put my man-card into jeopardy I actually read the instructions. They were clear and concise. In hindsight I am not exactly sure why I felt it necessary to read the instructions on a 2-port KVM switch. I mean I had a 50/50 chance of plugging things in correctly. But it was still a red-letter day for the male species that I actually found the instructions and did not discard them as part of the packaging.The switch itself has worked well with the exception of the Microsoft Entertainment 7000 Wireless Mouse and Keyboard. This device caused nothing but grief with the KVM and after a quick check with ConnectPRO they confirmed that keyboard/mouse combination was troublesome for their switches (and pretty much every switch on the market which leads me to believe it is more a Microsoft problem than a KVM manufacturer problem). After replacing the keyboard and mouse with a more standards based interface my problems went away. Switching between the two computers are simple and easy with the pre-lit buttons. A nice touch is the multi-colored lights that let you know if things are connected correctly. If a computer does not have power or is not connected via the DVI connector the light will show as red so you are not left wondering whether it is a cable problem or a switch problem. A green button shows the switch thinks everything is connected appropriately. There are two colors of green to differentiate between the active port and the other so you aren't left guessing which one is currently selected.Overall the ConnectPro has worked flawlessly. My only regret is that I didn't get one of these sooner. The pile of keyboards and mice is slowly dwindling being replaced by a handful of ConnectPro switches thereby eliminating the possibility that my wife will nominate me to be featured on a new reality show for keyboard/mouse hoarders.
