    I'm looking for an affordable but usable KVM switch for my peripherals and monitor. I don't need anything extravagant and VGA ports are fine for the monitor. I've looked at a few but wondered if anyone had any recommendations for me.

    Good opportunity to double up on this thread! I could also use a KVM switch for my USB Keyboard and USB Mouse.

    So any recommendations appreciated! :thumb:

    I've got a Belkin Soho 2 port. It's a bit overpriced but it doesn't look out of place on the desk. In fact, it's quite smart and it's built really well. 3 years solid use and never missed a beat. It also has the ability to switch video and/or audio, meaning you can listen to one pc whilst watching the output of the other etc. That's the main reason it caught my attention.

    Aten has always been my KVM of choice. Never had a bad experience with them.
