good unit, but could be better
This kvm has the advantage that it only needs one single usb port on each of your pc to work. I connected a set of usb mouse and usb keyboard (both microsoft) to the kvm, and all was recognized with no problems. The audio quality is very good. When you switch, there's no beep sound (for me this is good). Also this kit doesn't need ac power adapter, however, there are some disadvantages that can be a deal-breaker for some. It inclues:
-if you have one linux box, the hotkey doesn't work and y...

Works great with Windows and Mac
I've had mine for about a week now, and it's working great. Does exactly what it says... switches smoothly between computers. With Windows, switching is a bit slow because it takes a couple of seconds for Windows to recognize the usb devices each time. It's a lot faster with my Mac... switching is almost instant.
My only complaint is the physical design. When connected to 4 computers, the cables are sticking out all four sides. This makes this huge glob of cables, and makes it al...

Works well for the price
First off, this is probably one of the cheapest 4-Port USB KVM switches out there so you cannot expect the same performance of one that is 4 times the price. It comes with all the cables you need. In general, it works - I have 3 Windows XP PCs attached to this with a USB Keyboard and USB Mouse. The hotkey works quickly and for the most part it switches within 3 seconds without any problems. Rarely, the switch stops working and I have to unplug all the connections and reattatch which is annoyi...

Good switch but....
I found the switch very easy to set up, and overall is good value for money. The major issue I found with the switch is that it take 15 to 20 seconds to switch from one system to another.
I have two laptops in my home office and only wanted to share a common keyboard and mouse between them. The switch is OK, but if you want to frequently switch between machines it can slow you down.

A great choice for a USB KVM (with audio).
I love this thing! It comes with everything you need to get started. Currently, I have it connected to my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, my Dell Dimension E520 desktop with Windows XP, My Linux server running Centos, and I have one slot open for testing and repair of other equipment.
In some previous reviews others mentioned the delay when switching between pc's. I was concerned when I read that (after I placed the order and before I recieved it) but having used it I can say the delay is...

Decent KVM switch!
This is a decent KVM switch. But keep in mind its USB 1.1 and not 2.0. The only thing I have noticed is that when you switch from one machine to another each you see that Windows keeps saying it found USB devices and that ding-ding sound that Windows OS plays ... other than that everything seems fine!

Could Not get to work
I was excited when I received the unit and thought it was great that it included cables, however I had to return the unit. It would never recognize my keybooard on just the first PC. I tried it on 2 PC,s and technical support had no suggestions, other than it should work plug-and-play. I'm still looking for a replacement.

Easy to set up and works great!
Easy to set up...just follow the directions. I had seen some reviews that said there were problems with wireless keyboard and mouse, but I had no problems. Plugged the wireless connector into the keyboard port, and since I use a trackball, plugged it into the mouse port. Amazingly, the wireless mouse also works...a bonus.

Works ok... for a while.
I have the 2 port and 4 port TrendNet kvm's and both worked fine for a few months with no problems including recognizing various wireless hardware. However, after a few months both units have problems with either a usb or video port. I'm a bit disappointed that both have issues after spending nearly $100 combined but I guess I'll stick to tried and true hardware from Linksys or a couple of other companies I've had very good products from.
I wish I could find things lately that stil...
