I would recommend AGAINST using any Belkin KVMs. We've had nothing but problems with them. If you have a Windoze box and a Linux box with the GUI running on the same KVM, when you switch from the Windoze box to the Linux box it messes your mouse up. The mouse will start randomly moving all over the screen and clicking everywhere opening windows. When this happens, you have to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill the GUI and then restart it. On the rack mounted server KVMs we have, if you don't start certain Compaq ProLiant servers with the focus on that machine in the KVM, it won't detect the keyboard and mouse when it boots. This is with both Linux and Windows.
I would go with APC KVMs if its for a server rack, although they are a little expensive. We're still looking for a good desktop KVM. Chris Purcell, RHCE > I can recommend the Belkin Omni Cube.
