I need a desktop KVM, but I have started searching yesterday and read about a lot of bad experiences - like the screen flickering, swtiching b/n computers taking forever, etc. The problem is that I will probably have to order it from amazon.uk, wait a week or so for it to arrive, so I want to get it right the first time.
