I;ve used both Raritan MasterConsoles (which I use for my servers) and they have been very reliable overall. Just recently had a problem with some of the mouse ports but I have checked in detail what's wrong yet. For servers I prefer the MC's since I know that the keyboard/mouse emulation works flawlessly for me. For my personal desktop and my less critical servers at home I installed an edimax 4 port and its worked very well. The only glitch I occansionaly get is with the intellimouse when I restart a machine and switch at the wroing time during driver initialization (i suspect). But for aBOUT 170 for a 4 port KVM (1 1/2 yrs ago) you couldn't beat it. Just recently we ordered a KVM for PC/MAC that was about 150. Haven't tried it yet but will report back.
