RE: [ukha_d] 4 port USB KVM switch for £50

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

I found mine in Huddersfield - around here Bradford, Huddersfield, Harrogate, (but not Leeds) have stock. PCW can identify local branches with stock for you if you give them the part no (last nights closing stock figures). The cost is £47.97.  The Belkin part no is F1D104USB and the PCW part no is 294265 - I am going to pop out and buy a couple more for some people who emailed me directly who also said their local store had none. If you want me to get one and send it to you I will - I can't promise the bundled free mouse versions though and I guess the postage will be £7.50 ish but will charge at cost.  Leaving in an hour or so though so you'll have to respond quickly.

PS please note the comment Nic made in this thread re the on screen display and the hot key switching not working if you use a USB master keyboard - you have to use a PS2 one apparently - I hadn't realised this. There is a front panel selector switch though. I suspect this stock is being moved to make way for a USB V2 version.

Seeing as there's often posts here on KVM switches and cheap sources I have just noticed that P C World are doing the Belkin 4 port Omniview USB KVM switch for £47.97 at the moment - that's half price according to their stickers although last time I looked at these I am sure they were £129 or £149 in there.

Includes a 4 port USB hub and also a USB to PS/2 covertor. Note these are USB switches - they attach to your PC via a monitor and USB cable although you can control all the PC's with either a USB or PS/2 keyboard/mouse as there is a convertor built in. You can mix PC's and Mac's and probably any other platform that supports USB I guess. On some boxes there is also a free USB three button mouse included - this is marked via a sticker on the outside. No cables are included so you need 4 USB cables and 4 video cables - I suspect the in house recommended Belkin ones are expensive though.

 

Seems good value - ideal for monitoring a bank of MultiTainers !
