I have been using a 4-port Cybex KVM switch for a couple of months
now, and I have not had any problems with it. The keyboard adaptor
that I use is the MadKatz adapter. Also if your interested, you can
get a PS/2 mouse adaptor which will allow you to plug a standard PS/2
mouse into a DC. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test the PS/2
adapter since I don't have a game yet that supports the mouse. I hope
to remedy that in the near future.
