Belkin SOHO KVM Switch - Since When Have KVM Switches Been This Desirable?

If you’re looking to run more than one computer via your existing monitor, keyboard and mouse set up then you need a KVM switch but, until now, such peripherals have, from a design perspective at least, been less than inspiring affairs best hidden from view – but Belkin’s new SOHO KVM manages to achieve what we thought otherwise impossible in being a KVM switch you’ll be more than happy to give up highly prized desktop real estate in order to show off.

Prior to coming across Belkin’s new SOHO KVM if you had asked us whether we could ever envisage raving about the design of a KVM switch we would have thought you mad. But here we are, about to do exactly that, as the design of Belkin’s SOHO KVM is a work of genius from a design team who obviously know what how to get our cold, geek hearts palpitating with desire..

Featuring touch sensitive controls and the form factor of a sleek, glossy black box, the Belkin SOHO KVM is available in six versions allowing for VGA, PS2 and DVI connections each of which also serves as a two port USB 2.0 hub (one port front mounted, the second placed at the rear of the unit) which is a welcome addition that will doubtless prove especially handy just when it never seems that you have quite enough USB ports available to accommodate all your connectivity requirements (USB fish tank, et al).

The Belkin SOHO KVM Switch is expected to retail for around $160 or $270 for the 2 port and four port models respectively.
