I run two computers these days - One for Paris (1.25 gHz DP G4) and one for
FX (867 mHz G4 running Digital Performer w/ Waves and UAD-1 plugins, mostly
for the Waves IR-1 reverbs). I just got a Belkin 'Flip' which allows me
to control both computers with one mouse and keyboard and to have one of
my monitors flip between computers. So now I can switch from having Paris
on both my 19" LCD screens to having Paris on the left and Digital Performer
on the right. Way cool! And only gets stuck every now and then!

I have 3 KMV switches. I have a Belkin with PS2, it works but it has a floating
palette you have to have open and click to switch, which sucks. I have a
ioGear USB switch with audio, it's a POS! locks up on a regular basis.
And I have a $19.00 TrendMicro PS2/USB switch which works great, but the
keyboard and mouse have to be PS2. The cheap TrendMicro is the best by far.
I have decided to not invest in to KMV switches anymore, I'm going to try
to use remote desktop, etc. Also I have a pile of 17" to 20" CRTs I got
for free on Craig's list. Free CRTs are on there all the time, people are
giving them away now.

I'm getting a similar experience on my PC switch. Trend 2 port PS2 is a bit
slow, but works. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to pull it because when I
switch it there's a pause in the native playback.
Are you seeing that on yours too?

It does seem a little slow at times, but no real pauses.
