Randall,
I'm surprised the reviews are that bad. I use it between my two Linux boxes. I've used it for two years with no problem. It's true fitting four connections inside this space would be tight but I had no problems that I needed to change the case to solve. The fact that it doesn't work with wireless well, I still have strong reservations about wireless security so I don't use it.
But I'm always looking for a better deal. Can you recommend a DVI, USB, KVM switch?
Nothing so far. My attempts to find one have been sporadic. I'm extremely reluctant to spend more for a KVM switch than I did for the video card to which it will be attached! For now (starting tomorrow, when the new DVI-equipped card arrives), I'll simply connect my laptop's VGA port directly to the VGA port of the flat-panel display and use the display's DVI port to connect to the the new video card. I also have a funny situation with my mouse. It's a Logitech laser mouse that's only properly recognized by the Linux software when attached via USB, and the KVM I have now only handles PS/2 keyboard and mice, so I'm going to have to use two mice, one for each computer, and use the KVM solely to switch the keyboard while switching the display via it's front-panel controls and manually switching from one mouse to the other. Very cumbersome, I know, but I don't tend to switch off very often.
