Seems to work with basic accessories and components
I currently have two of these KVM switches (one at home and one at work) for switching between a desktop running WinXP and my laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook T4210). It seems to work just fine, both using the keyboard hotkey (press scroll-lock twice) and the button on the KVM switch. My desktop computers are always on so no problems have come up with regards to power. My mice are the standard three button optical mice with the scroll wheel. There are only a few things I can complain about, 1. no extra ...

Wow! Great product, great price...
I initially dismissed this product because it looked cheap, and seemed to be priced accordingly. But after reading some of the reviews, I decided to buy it and risk a whopping 24 bucks. It was a great buy.
What it does - It switches your VGA monitor between two computers, along with your USB keyboard and USB mouse. It has two buttons on the device to control the switching. It has two USB ports that go to your keyboard and your mouse. It has three VGA ports. One goes to your moni...

Does not always work
I use this to control my laptop and desktop pc. I am constantly having to crawl under my desk to press the buttons to switch computers as the hot buttons do not work if only one computer is on. It will remember the last computer used. If you start up the other, you will need to press the button on the unit. It will not automatically switch to the one that is powered or powering up.

Tech Level: high
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: If you have such incompetent, unethical employees, who think that the best solution to a tech support call is to put the caller on hold until they give up, we as customers also have some tricks up our sleeves.
I will post on every conceivable website and will rally and even create a website just for the purpose of exposing your sleaziness and trashy products.
I promise to return the junk product to the retai...

Good, especially for the price.
I purchased this so my husband could work on his work laptop using his home desktop keyboard, mouse & larger screen. It set up easily. The display switches quickly. The only complaint is the delay in the computer finding the mouse & keyboard. It's long enough to sometimes make you think it's not working, but giving it a minute will usually result in it working. I bought an Iogear Extreme for my own use back when it was one of the few USB KVM's available. It has to plug into an outlet rather than...

Does what it's supposed to do
I bought this product due to the USB functionality and the sweet spot price. The KVM switch does exactly how it is advertised and how I wanted it-- it switches between my PC and my mac mini with ease.
PROs:
Fast switching with the on-box buttons
No quality issues with the monitor/resolution
Keyboard/mouse switch is fine
Sweet price
CONs:
The switching on mac is a little annoying-- the software is WINDOWS ONLY (i didnt install software on XP anyway, ...

Works well, but must use carefully with Mac OS 9
I use this to flip back and forth between a Windows XP machine, and a Macintosh (actually, I'm half-ashamed to admit, a Mac using OS 9...) What I find with the Mac, is that when switching to and from using this device, it is best to be in the Finder, not to be within an application. Some applications freeze if they're frontmost during the switch. What's more, when I switch to and from any machine, it is wisest to wait a few seconds after hitting the "switch" button before you begin to use the...

You get what you pay for, JUNK
If you do purchase this device make sure you write down the serial number. Supposedly there's a sticker on the back that has the serial number on it. My switch failed after a week. Since there was no serial number on my device the manufacturer has decided not to provide product replacement even though it's their unit and has their name on it.

Works as advertised...
Its a very simple KVM, but works just fine. I have one Win XP system and one Linux system, and have no trouble flipping between the systems. The cable it includes to connect the KVM to the two host systems has only VGA on one end and then VGA and USB on the other, so it must route the USB over the spare pins on the VGA connector. So a drawback is the inability to use your own, perhaps longer, cables. So as long as you can get by with the predetermined cable length, this product is great.
