If you are going to buy a DVI KVM w/USB KB then you must go Dual-Link for highest resoloution and a USB hub. A KVM is something that you don't replace until it exceeeds whatever technology is prevalent at the time. So spending a little money now is better than spending it later to replace it. I have the following KVM from IOGEAR.
GCS1782 2-Port Dual-Link DVI KVMP Switch with 7.1 Audio and Cables Dual Link DVI KVMP switch with USB Peripheral sharing and 7.1 Audio
It is well built and you can connect hubs and wireless keyboard and mouse to it (I use regular USB Mouse and KB). In addition, it comes with all the cables you need. It is about $200.00 but worth every penny.
It's the only KVM on the market that supports dual-link DVI, USB and 7.1 surround sound. Now if only soft switching worked with my G15. For its $200 sticker price, you'd expect it to include the cables--and it does :)
HP's Jon Rubenstein told us that his company wanted to veer in a new direction, and veer it surely did -- the HP Veer 4G will arguably be the smallest fully-functional smartphone on the market when it goes on sale May 15th.
