Comment Belkins are A-OK for me (Score 1) 263

I use a Belkin OmniCube 4-port PS/2 switch box at home that I'm pretty happy with. It was rather inexpensive from CDW (about $110 ~6 mo. ago) compared to other Belkin models, and there's essentially no difference. The cable sets are $25 or so apiece, but you can get really long ones. I can change the active port with just a few keystrokes, which means I don't have to reach across my desk and press the button.

I've used it with essentially no problems using XFree86 3.3.3/3.3.5 on Linux, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD, and also Windows 98/NT. I have only one problem and that is with my laptop. When I switch away and then come back, X loses control of my mouse so I have to kill X and restart it (which is annoying). I am pretty sure that error is caused by my laptop's BIOS or imwheel since the Belkin works great with X on my other machines.

I've used Cybex and other Belkin models, but this one is just as good IMO... CDR
