It turns out that this doesn't work like normal KVM switches: it uses special non-standard adapter cables, which apparently aren't necessarily available on amazon.com, or if they are cost a lot.So you can't replace your existing 2-port KVM with this one, for example, and reuse the existing cables.And you may not even be able to use THIS KVM because you may not be able to find the cables you need.This KVM switch only comes with ONE cable to attach to your mouse, keyboard, and video; you have to buy at least two additional cables to make this KVM switch functional.So once you factor in the cost of the extra special-built cables you have to buy (assuming you can even find them), this KVM is VERY expensive.I'm returning mine.It would be nice if the item description bothered to mention the special cable type requirement.
