Anyone got a two port DVI KVM switch that works well?

Ideally with hotkey port selection. eg: Where you press SCROLL LOCK twice followed by another key or two to swap the computer being viewed on the monitor?

Only interested in keyboard, mouse and video being switched. Don't need USB or audio etc.

Needs to handle at least 1920x1200 resolution.
 
I'm using the ATEN CS1784A which works well enough with a ton of features (tho you need to dig into the manual to work out how to use them - it does scroll lock swapping and so on and a ton of similiar low level features)

2 pretty big problems with it tho:

-the sound quality through it is dreadful - not a problem for me (or you) tho as I use a different set of headphones with each different computer connect to it i.e. for music listening on one and gaming on another.

-Default settings for mouse and keyboard emulation while highly compatible don't pass through special features and things like mouse wheel behavior is a bit odd - this can be disabled with certain commands and then it all works fine input wise (tho I've not tested extended multimedia keyboards).

That's like £200!!! :eek:
