Airlink 101 KVM switch

I recently sold my mac mini to a dear friend and went back to just my windoze laptop and linux homebrew desktop. Having 3 OSes at home was overkill and just the difference in control keys was driving me insane. I wanted a KVM switch so that I could use my laptop and desktop with the same kb, mouse and monitor, and after wasting an inordinate time at Fry's trying to cook up a low cost solution using $5 USB hubs and a 2-to-1 USB switch, plus $4 A-to-B USB cables, the corner of my eye caught the Airlink 101. This is a USB kb and mouse, VGA monitor, and 3.5mm audio in and out KVM with a button on top through which you choose computer 1 or 2. There is also the possibility of using hot-keys to toggle, but I think you need special drivers for that. When I opened the box my heart sank, because the connectors are completely nonstandard. On the KVM end of the PC side both VGA and USB go into a single DE-15 connector. The audio in and out come from standard headphone jacks into a mini-USB connector. Clearly whoever designed this was a connector freak. So I figured this would definitely take special drivers to work, and good luck with linux. Wrong! It just does. Monitor, audio and input switching work flawlessly for both windoze and linux. I'm SO impressed!
