ConnectPro UR-12 Kit 2-Port USB KVM Switch

No problem with this keyboard and mouse switch. I'm NOT using the video part of the switcher (I'm using the HDMI inputs on a 37" TV as a monitor - the video is fantastic in this case because it always stays digital instead of being converted to analog and back to digital like the usual The Downside is you need to press 2 buttons to switch computers: KVM switch AND monitor remote [worth it!]). Motherboard MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition (Win XP). Works well with both. Slight switching delay - lasts 2-3 seconds. It does not bother me. The keyboard connects to the laptop at boot time, allowing you to easily enter the BIOS. No connection during the desktop boot sequence: I cannot enter the BIOS or select the operating system in the Vista dual boot menu. Probably a PC problem, not a switch. Nice: Only one USB UR-12 is used between each PC and PC. A USB hub is great for transferring files to or from a flash drive. have an acceptable quality of the overmolded cable. I don't use them, so I can't report on their functionality. Too bad there is no way to switch using a hotkey. For the price it's acceptable, which isn't given the otherwise good functionality.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Expandable
