Belkin do a couple, one with audio, one without, both with built-in cables, selling for around £20-30 in the uk. Search your US Amazon site.

A word of advice.. make sure whatever you buy is returnable. I have used several KVM's (belkin and the IOgear one), and they are buggy when switching between machines. Specificaly, I had 2 Win. boxes, and my Mini, and every combo of KB/Mouse would cause some problems. Just make sure if it dosen't work properly, you can take it back.

IoGear. TOP notch stuff. Never failed me....


The Iogear kvm box has a 30 day return policy from tigerdirect.com

but if the kvm does not work or buggy with your set-up, sent ot back for a refund ..

No company makes a completely 'bug' free product nor software, so some people will get a bad product but they 'Can' get an exchange or a refund..

But Most people get excellent working product,If Iogear doesn't work for you then ship it back and try another company that makes kvm switches..
