This unit was very simple to set up and I had my Mac & PC running off the same keyboard, monitor & mouse within 30 minutes of opening the box. Be very careful to order the correct additional cables to go with it though. I think it's fair enough selling them separately as customers needs will vary, but this might catch some people out. I bought one set of PS/2 (round-ended connector) KVM cables plus one USB (flat connector) set. The Omniview cables are good quality and colour coded & included audio too. I don't think Amazon sell the USB set though & prices vary massively. If you want to use a Mac keyboard or mouse with an ADB (round-ended)connection, you'll need to buy an adapter for that as well, ADB to PS/2. A USB keyboard or mouse needs a USB to PS/2 adapter, mine originally came with one but this is another little detail to check if you're buying with a deadline on returns. Set-up is explained clearly & it's very easy to follow. Once you've got all the cables in, the cover snaps over the top & tidies all the connections away very neatly. I really like the design. If you use any adapters you might have to fit the extension kit (2 are included in the box) or there may be difficulty getting the cover shut. Once it was all set up, the whole thing worked brilliantly. There's a little bit of mis-matching using a PC keyboard with the Mac, but the commands work fine. I also discovered my mouse didn't want to scroll anymore on the Mac, but I suspect this might be fixable. There was absolutely no ghosting or any change whatsoever in the image quality.

I have had this for over a year now and it has always worked perfectly.
Looked good and works as it should. How much better can you get?
