2x1 DVI Switcher review [Posted on 2008-01-20]
This switcher is a great prodct. Worked great out of the box with an XP and MAC computer. Had a question of setup and called their support, which was great. Would suggest getting the DVI detective also so that there is minimum need to re-boot the computer to establish connection.

Very Good Quality DVI Switch. Gefen Products are very Good. I haven't had any issues. Everything is Positive!
LALLALAA Really Great Switch WOOHOO! [Posted on 2008-02-25]
This is a high quality KVM switch and very easy to use. I am currently able to switch between my PC and PS3 with a press of a button and share keyboard, mouse, computer speakers , and lcd screen. My eyes exploded with joy! There are a couple minor quibbles, see below if they are an issue for you.
PROS:
- Comes with a ton of cables (DVI - DVI cables x2, audio x2, usb x2, etc)
- Works out of box, no additional software installation
- Supports 1680 x 1050 resolution
- No loss of keyboard functionality
- Solid construction
CONS:
- Need to switch to machine first before powering the PC or PS3 on (no big deal)
- The KVM will occasionally reconnect to the USB keyboard when you switch back to PC (no big deal, takes a second)
- I have to clean up my eye goo after it exploded from joy using this the first time
Overall I am quite pleased with this switch. I had thought the CONS would be deal breaker but after using it, they really aren't as bothersome as imagined to be.
Parrrfect, every single one of them.
NOTE: This switch does not have keyboard shortcuts. May be a CON for some but I prefer button so it was a PRO for me.
Completes all tasks as advertised! [Posted on 2008-03-29]
KVM switchs are finicky at best. This model is a honey!
It's small.. takes up minimal desk space
It has led indicators to show which PC is currently selected
The USB hub is 2.0 unlike the IOGEAR models, whose HUB is USB1.1 which sometimes causes keyboard not to be regconized by PC BIOS(i.e boot failure.
The switch is fairly responsive*(two seconds) with toggle switch
Manufacturer offers an infrared remote so you can locate the switch conveniently.
The price is very competitve especially if you don't require the add-ons.
There's not much else to ask for.
Small Defects Mar an Excellent Product [Posted on 2008-05-05]
I've owned one of these for 8-9 months. I like it, but it has two (related) flaws:
1) I cannot boot up a system without switching to it, or it will not correctly connect the video, and 2) if I let a system suspend, I will often lose the video and end up having to reboot.
If it didn't have those flaws, I'd give it 5 stars. It's still a very good product overall.
