Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The CS682 takes a giant step forward from prior models in the Petite series, by offering DVI functionality, USB 2.0 peripheral sharing, and a rich bass experience for 2.1 surround systems. Another new feature of the CS682 is the implementation of a remote port selector. This means that you can now control port switching from the desktop while the switch itself can be placed in a convenient, out of the way, location. Furthermore, the CS682 features enhanced Video DynaSync technology, which stores the console monitor's EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to optimize display resolution. Also, in addition to new hotkeys, the CS682 offers the latest mouse port-switching function - simply double-click on the scroll wheel of a USB mouse to change ports. Finally, the CS682's new Power on detection feature means that if one of the computers is powered off, switch will automatically switch to the other powered-on computer.
Featuring an unbeatable combination of DVI functionality, USB 2.0 peripheral sharing convenience, and enhanced user-friendly operations, the CS682 allows users to keep up with the latest innovations in desktop multimedia applications.

I bought this to replace a similar Belkin kvm switch which was VGA rather than DVI. Image quality is improved but that's to be expected just by nature of it being DVI. The big deal was the annoyance of having the Belkin unit noisily click between inputs every 5-10 seconds whenever the 2 machines were powered down. This unit doesn't do that and is silent when switching anyway. It is also a lot quicker at switching sources (Less than a second as compared to 5-10 for the Belkin). The quality of all the audio and video signals is excellent and the remote switching button for the desktop (allowing the main unit to be hidden beneath the desk makes) it very neat.
If you want to use 2 PCs with one DVI monitor and one set of USB-keyboard, USB-mouse, speakers and microphone(or any extra USB devices via a USB-hub).... and you can afford this unit I think you'd be mad to buy anything else.

I use this KVM switch to control two computers using one USB mouse, a USB keyboard and a DVI monitor. The switch is well-built, robust and easily installed. It comes complete with its own USB and audio cables. In addition to KVM, it also switches audio and USB if required. A remote button pad allows the switch to be hidden away discretely to a place where the cables and computers are most conveniently located.
Switching is accomplished in one of three ways; using the neat remote switch, keyboard shortcuts, or, if not using the USB hub facility, by double-clicking the mouse scroll wheel. It is possible to switch just the keyboard and mouse leaving the sound coming from one computer or the other. It is also possible KVM/Audio and USB all at the same time, or, independantly switch audio without the keyboard. In my case it means I can listen to the radio coming from one machine whilst using the keyboard, mouse and monitor on the other. The device also provides a switchable USB hub facility allowing you to share USB devices between the machines. However, the USB hub facility shares the USB mouse socket so you can't use a USB mouse and the USB hub at the same time unless the mouse is connected via the keyboard and the switch is set to disable mouse emulation on the USB mouse port. Using the USB hub facility also disables mouse scroll-wheel switching, although this is a minor inconvenience.
I have encountered no disruption to usage of the machines or their displays during switching. The manual and user guide are concise but could explain the switching options more clearly but I would not let that detract from what is otherwise an excellent product.

This is a truly excellent device. It's the third one I tried, and the only one that reliably lets me switch between a PC and Mac. I have a 24 inch 1920x1200 display and competing devices either didn't display at all from the Mac or showed errors on the screen. It also works with my Logitech G5 mouse which won't work with other products.
Not only does it work better, it's much smaller, and designed so that nothing but a tiny switch on the end of a wire need be visible above the desk.
One tiny nit: for it to work with non-standard mice, you need to turn "mouse emulation" on - this is once per reboot of the switch but isn't well documented. Fortunately aten have that even rarer thing, responsive customer support!
(just in case you have one: turn on "mouse emulation" by hitting scroll-lock twice quickly before a lower case "m" and finally the enter key).
