Is this a rotary switchbox or an electronic KVM switch? The
rotary switchbox doesn't work well in a lot of cases, I've
been told. Go ahead and spend the $100+ for a decent Belkin
KVM switch if you're using an old analog / rotary switch.
If you're already using an ELECTRONIC KVM switch, I don't
know what to tell you. :-)
