A red light indicates which computer is active in any case. Next, I replaced the OmniCube with a Cybex SwitchView model because of two features it offers. Either way works fine but one setup, or size, may be better than the other for a given desktop arrangement. Like the OmniCube, this switch supports Microsoft s Intellimouse and 1200x1600 video resolution. Neither switch requires an external power supply, IRQs, drivers or other software.
Installation is a simple matter of unplugging and plugging cables.
Each kit contains cables that run between the switch and the keyboard, video and monitor ports to the switch. You use existing cables to connect switch to keyboard, video and mouse. I wanted to be sure I had automatic mouse and keyboard emulation to eliminate potential boot-up problems. This is important because I frequently alter or reconfigure my computer systems for test reports or other research. Running my workstation computer and our network server from one set of controls is a snap with the OmniCube or SwitchView products.
