Cabinet KVM Recommendation?

I do ocasionally get the "missing mouse" issue, but I don't have any video problems with it. On the mouse issue, all I do when it happens is quickly unplug and replug the mouse.

Perhaps it depends on the operating system you are using. If I unplug and replug the mouse, I'd definitely have to reboot to get it back.(And that is without the KVM).

Hmm strange in one of our video conversion suites we are using a 4 port belkin omni cube with three comps #1 is running win2k server #2 win98se #3 win95 and we cycle through the comps almost non-stop and have never lost control of the mouse. Also at the end of the last shift we put the KVM to port #4 where no comp is connected and just leave it there untill the next shift.

XP on one box, 98se on the other. According to the KVM docs it will fool any system into thinking both keyboard and mouse are attached, whether or not a physical keyboard or mouse is actually attached to it. The docs for it mentioned the mouse issue, and hot re-plugging was their solution. Note my KVM is a $50 model with the cables molded in, not one of Belkin's Omni series.
Without the KVM I'd agree about having to reboot, the only exception would be a USB mouse.

Having to upgrade my sister-inlaws comp this weekend I got to borrow a spare KVM. I have never had any problems with Cybex.
