I have been given a very low spec pc which I intend to use as a download box/firewall possibly but obviously dont want the clutter of two monitors/keyboards etc on my desk.

I have seen KVM switches about but have never actually used one before.I do a lot of online gaming so just wonder wether I will get keyboard or mouse lag using one of these.
Are these things happy with cordless stuff as well also I have seen reviews where people complain of ghosting what causes this?

Finally does anyone have any reccomendations as to which one to buy

Cheers

Steve

We've got HP's latest offering in our racks (IP KVM) and its utter crap, PC Anywhere is better!

Our cabled Blackbox stuff is better though!

I use a Belkin Omniview at home. It's a few years old, so doesn't have the latest USB/printer/etc facilities (PS2-mouse/PS2-keyboard/monitor only). The image quality is heavily dependent on the quality of the cables used. It's worth spending money on decent cables - get proper, decent shielded kit.

Time for that second monitor/keyboard then, or remote control s/w as stated above. VNC is my preference (probably still need a keyboard plugged in though).
