Review on Tripp Lite 4-Port Desktop KVM Switch with USB and VGA HD15 (Model B006-VU4-R) by Issac Smart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can work with it

In general the device is good. However, it didn't work very well with my wireless keyboard. The wireless mouse worked fine, so I used a 4-in/1-out USB hub for the keyboard and mouse transceivers and plugged the hub into the input (console) port on the mouse. Now I had both a mouse and a keyboard that fit all of my systems. However, now I have no hotkey activity and can only control the toggle from the front panel. As the title says, I can work with it. At least the video switching seems nice and clean and allows me to run ghost-free at 1920x1080 between my laptop, workhorse and server, so I guess I can't really complain. I like the weight - it's heavy enough to sit still and not allow cables to lift it from the front, it's small enough to fit on top of my ethernet switch, the legs hold it in place when I press the buttons on the switch. . i will keep it
