Have a few towers stashed under your desk? (WHAT?! I use them for heat in the winter, I swear!) The only solution to manage those computers is using a simple KVM. Every model that I have ever used was klunky and not the most user friendly when I had to switch environments (Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock, Up anyone?).
The Belkin flip has specs you would expect from a traditions KVM – USB, VGA, Audio – but ads a cute little remote to the mix to help you switch from computer to computer. As with almost all KVM’s the Belkin Flip is compatible with PC’s and Mac’s. Available for $59.99. Just DONT lose the remote!
I saw that little guy at Target the other day. I gotta say that it does look like it will take the clutter out of the KVM.
Has anyone tried these KVM switches yet? While they look cool, I would like to know how well the function.
There is a version with a wired remote, however if you are switching between a Mac and a PC and are using a wireless KB and Mouse expect to find no such happiness. The mac will not for the life of it recognize the keyboard or mouse when switching back. EVER.
