Works with Mac Mini and PC, few minutes to setup
This switch simply works. No complicated setup, no software to install. Just turn off both computers. Plug the shared keyboard, monitor, mouse, speakers and microphone into the switch, connect the included cables into the switch and the two computers. Then turn on the first computer, the one you want to designate as #1. After the first computer boots up and everything is okay, then push the #2 button and boot the second computer. That's it. From then on, you just push the button #1 or #2 ...

Simple, slightly ugly cabling, yet works perfectly
I also own an expensive Belkin 4-computer model (USB w/audio), but this one actually works better. The Belkin one breaks my multi-function KB, as well as preventing my monitor from sleeping. The TrendNET one works perfectly on both counts, I can switch from my PC to my Mac using ScrollLock+ScrollLock, and it includes the cables. (The cabling weighs about 10X the actual KVM ;-)
One small warning - a Mac cannot use the ScrollLock+ScrollLock keystroke to switch between inputs, so you ...

Great KVM, Works with Wireless Mouse
This little switch works almost perfectly with our Macintosh G4 Digital Audio tower and Intel Mac mini. Keyboard is the Apple USB keyboard provided with the G4; mouse is the wireless Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer, using the USB Overdrive X driver on both Macs. Monitor is an old Radius 15" LCD with VGA connector, which is connected to the Mac mini using the latter's included DVI-to-VGA adapter.
Once, after using the switch to go from the G4 to the mini, the mouse buttons weren't r...

USB KVM switch, not good for USB 2.0 keyboards
KVM itself works great, but if ur using a usb 2.0(powered) device, such as a lighted keyboard, or super fancy mouse, it delays when switching from one pc to another sometimes.
it also sometimes stops responding altogether, leaving u helpless aside from manually forcing your computer off, and repowering it, to attempt to repower the KVM.
All in all, it works pretty good, and since there are situations when u really don't have many other options, I would still reccommend it.

NOT MacMini or Mac laptop compatible
After reading many reviews about this product, and read the description that said it is Mac compatible, I ordered one. When it arrived, I took it out of the box along with the cables, and lo and behold, I found it is NOT Mac compatible. It only comes with 2 VGA/USB male ended cables. I have an Acer AL2223W monitor which has both VGA and DVI-D inputs and cables; however, both my MacBook Pro and my Mac Mini only have DVI-D inputs. My old Mac PowerPC G4 had both VGA and DVI-D inputs. Too bad Apple ...

Works great!
It does works great, i have it attached to a Windows 2003 Server and a Windows Vista machine and it works without problems, the software is pretty simple to setup and you can configurate the hot keys (but holding always the Ctrl+Alt combination, you only can set the last key of this three key combination).

Great product
I'm a telecommuter. My employer forced me to get a company-owned laptop and stop using my home PC to connect to work. I have very limited desk space. I researched and then ordered a Trendnet TK207K 2-Port USB KVM Switch. It works great. When I first tried it out, I had trouble because of personal denseness, and to save others from a similar fate, I'll describe what I had to do. If you connect your switch to a new machine without first making sure your new machine knows how to work with your othe...

Does a great job, even with wireless keyboard
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I've owned the Iogear 2-Port Compact KVM Switch for years, and it was great with wired keyboards. But when I switched from a Logitech wired Wave keyboard to the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000, the Iogear wouldn't do a thing.
The TrendNet, by contrast, was totally plug-and-play. Not only did it work with the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, it did so on the first bo...

Great little KVM
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I am using this to replace an IO Gear KVM of similar design. I just bought a Logitech Wave Cordless set and the IOG didn't work with it either in Vista or Mac. This TrendNet was recommended on the Logitech Support site. Well, it works great! All my functionality is now there! My only complaint is the softkey doesn't work on the Mac side (the IOG did!). Everything else is superior. The add...

Great value KVM
Takes a few seconds to switch, whether via short-cut keys or buttons on the unit, and one of my computers won't boot unless it is the active one (no keyboard mouse detected), but this little unit does a great job for its price-range, fits neatly on my desk, and meets all my expectations thus far.
