I use it primarily to switch between my Linux box and my (work enforced) Windows box and it works fine in both. You can switch screens by tapping Scroll Lock twice followed by either 1-4. (I think Scroll Lock x 2 + arrow key works as well, but I don't use it.) It does beep when you switch screens which is usually a good thing. Except on days when I'm working on code in linux and testing in windows, when the incessant beeping annoys my coworkers and myself. :) I'm not sure how much it costs since work provided it, but I think it's right around $100US. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
