The only feature I care about is that this KVM switch allows the use of USB keyboards and mice. However, you will find yourself in eternal frustration while using the keyboard because keystrokes frequently lost or stuck. Even as I'm typing this now, I've had to correct this stupid KVM switch because it doesn't pick up keystrokes sometimes. Perhaps I'm typing too fast (yeah right), I don't know. On top of that, keystrokes are frequently stuck too. You can be typing, and then all of a sudden you'll get a sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssslew of the same letter. Very very frustrating. I've hooked this switch up to different machines; I've swapped out keyboards and mice; I've even replaced the switch the same exact make and model! The problem definitely resides in these switches. Don't let the price tag fool you, YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!

I wanted to back-up the other reviewer's comments. My company unfortunately bought about 50 of these units. Every single one suffers from the same stuck key issue. We use at least four different brands (not to mention models) of computers and even more types of keyboards. It also affects both Windows XP & Vista. Their tech support has no fixes at this time and no firmware upgrades are available either. DO NOT BUY this model until Avocent releases new firmware, unless of course you like having random keys get stuck at the worst moments possible.
