 I'm looking to get a KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) switch, and need to it play well with Linux and Windows, support 2 monitors, & 2 mice + 1 keyboard. 

Anyone using a switch they would also recommend? 

I've been doing some reading and given the price on some of these things, want to get it right from the start.

 @2e9f5e44 my main advice is: if the price is "cheap" you're going to pay for it in frustration. I have a no-name 1:3 switcher with a single push-button that regularly drives me *nuts* when I can't get the monitor to wake properly with Linux. I think the culprit is bad EDID somewhere in the software stack. The single push-button is also slow and I regret not getting something with a button per input set.

I bought a GREATHTEK device for my mother a while ago which I kinda like, but not a duplex device.
