Connectpro UD-12-PLUS+ KVM Switch UD-12+KIT KVM Switches
This review is from : ConnectPRO UD-12-PLUS KIT 2-port DVI KVM switch with USB DDM and Active DDC, includes cables
Worked as advertised right out of the box . I followed the simple instruction sheet, so there were no issues. My Microsoft wireless desktop dongle worked, in the keyboard USB port, with no loss of functionality in the mouse or the keyboard. The hotkeys work without issue on the box and keyboard. I am running my monitor's USB hub through one of the devices front USB ports, with a Logitech web cam serialized onto the monitor hub. No problems seeing all of this connectivity instantly on both Ubuntu Linux 10.04 Lucid and Microsoft Windows 7. So far so good. The pictures don't do the unit justice. Switching between systems is smooth as silk, with no delays, thanks to the DDM and DDC. BTW, the supplied cables are DVI-I single link with pins for analog support. If you need DVI-D, get some adapters or other cables to connect your video. I happened to have DVI-D on both computers, and HDMI on the monitor and the necessary cables.

Works perfectly on DVI and all new Wireless USB devices! A++ . I have been searching for a KVM to allow sharing of my monitor, logitech wireless mouse, wireless keyboard and other USB devices. This thing is sweet! It works like a charm and switches flawlessly between systems. It takes 2 seconds to switch and everything works like a charm.
I have Logitech Dinovo Wireless Keyboard and Logitech Wireless MX Laser Mouse and they worked out of the box between my two computers. No need to worry about switches, lags, etc...you can push the 1/2 button to switch or use hotkeys on your keyboard. Their techsupport is great, had to call with a question and a guy picked up the phone right away - they can make custom firmware if your device does not work. Its a small company (like 25 employees) that is all about their niche and their customers. Their DDM and special active switching tech is not found in the cheaper competing models and the tech allows split second switching and response time - no mouse, keyboard lag and instant resolution correction. It remember the settings, saves to box so its a quick switch.
Although its expensive, this thing works and works really well. Supports my 1080P monitor between my Window 7 x64 desktop and my thinkpad, windows XP docking station. It just works, no headaches, firmware, or other installs needed. Works great for a home office where you bring home your work laptop and want to use your existing monitor, mouse, keyboard withouth have to always plug-in/out cables.
Kit comes with small switching box, power cord, 2 sets of combo DVI/USB (big square to rectangle for computer) cables to connect to your devices. I had tried IOgear, Belkin, etc...and none of them worked with these newer wireless USB devices until ConnectPro. Furthermore, this has 2 USB ports in the front to share USB devices between computers; the mouse and keyboard have specific back USB slots.
One thing to note, you may have to uninstall logitech setpoint for this to work 100% and if your DVI plug doesnt have the 4 pin setup around the long flat metal pin, you will need a convertor (like 3$ on amazon). Plus it doesnt KVM sound, but who cares!
Buy this and you won't be dissapointed.

Cons Review
Horrible KVM did not ever work for me. . I purchased this KVM based on the few available reviews on amazon and because it is one of the only KVMs that uses DDM(Direct Device Mapping). However, the problem I had with it had nothing to do with DDM, it had to do with the KVM never passing any video through to the monitor. Now I have read about the issues some had with having to use adapters to make it work due to the type of DVI cables provided. However, I completed replaced those cables with my own so that it was straight DVI-D from start to finish and it still would not pass through any video. In windows it showed that monitor as an HP2105TW monitor when I in fact had a Dell U2410 plugged up to it. I worked back and forth with ConnectPro tech support to no success. They were very polite and responsive, but in the end I ordered an IOGear KVM that was half the price and worked correctly right out of the box.
