KVM - recommendations

KVM - Keyboard Video and Mouse sharing between 2 pc

I have a corporate desktop and personal laptop at work and currently use a crappy old kvm to share
Not on same network so I cant just share via network, synergy or remote desktop or whatever

Would like to have a better quality video option - dvi or display port
usb 2 or 3 and maybe powered rather than usb powered
Plus usb sharing device sharing (a usb drive specifically) plus kb&m
A kb hotkey for switch would be nice too

happy to pay a decent price but of course the cheaper the better - this is OzB!

If anyone has recent experience with kvm and has a model etc to recommend it would be much appreciated

  • This is what I use, http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2… .

    Works great. Only downside is the additional mouse buttons (back and forward) don't work. No biggy though.

    Keep in mind it is DVI, so check what suits your laptop. You can get VGA KVM's but make sure it supports your monitor resolution.

    • Thanks mate - that is the kind of thing I had in mind
      DVI or DP is no problem - lappie sits in desktop dock with all options (except hdmi but could get adaptor)
      Cheers

      Anyone else with an idea?
