New KVM

[mrbagrat]

My Belkin Soho 4-port KVM switch just died. I'm looking for another one-price probably isn't an issue, but keep it around 100 USD if possible. It needs to have audio, PS/2 or USB isn't really a high priority but USB would be nice. I'm only swtiching btwn a computer and an xbox 360, both with VGA. So I only really need a 2 port, but more is welcome. High resolution is imperative. At least 1600 x 1200.

I've found these two:

Anyone know anything about the companies/KVM's themselves? Any other recommendations?

Never heard of the TRENDnet stuff, but I've seen/used some IoGear before and they're pretty good, decent electronics. Out of the two, I'd go for the IoGear.

I just noticed that the IOGEAR only switches w/hotkeys, which doesn't work because I will be using a 360 with it. Any suggestions for other brands?


EDIT: Found these:

I dunno why, but I'm liking the miniview the most.

Here's a 2-port one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817400003

and the 4-port version:

or a different 4-port (definitely better than the JustCom 4-port):

So, I'd go with either the 2-port JustCom or the 4-port Linkskey.
