USB KVMs - response time?
-
I just got a 2 port kvm, and I didn't spend much on it. 20 bucks at newegg. However, it takes literally 2 to 3 seconds when toggling between the machines which, of course, seems like an eternity when you're moving at warp 8. All of my previous kvm experiences have been with the PS/2 variety, and hence my question. Is this delay time something inherent in USB varieties, or is this just a case of "you get what you pay for?"

I have two JustCom JC-102CMA USB KVMs (one at home and one at work). The response time is the same as yours, but it's never been too much a bother. Couldn't beat the price ($35 per KVM about a year ago). :) Flynn
