It is great!

I started poking around Revain looking for a reliable USB KVM for my two laptop setup. It should have been easy, right? Most of the products I found (yes, I read the reviews) came with all sorts of negative comments. Things like this should be simple and just work, right? It's guys! This thing is very basic as it should be and does what it's supposed to do very well. I love it! Works flawlessly when switching between my two laptops (via my Kensington Dock). It's very small and I actually attached it to the wall next to my desk with 3M strips. The only complaint that I think any bean counter can find is the cables. As you'd expect, it has long connection cables, which is a good thing. I don't see that as a problem as it's easy enough to hide them behind a desk or laptop, but someone might benefit from a tip if that bothers you. Shorter cables would really limit range etc. But then I like it again. Just put it there. I love this product. I even like the blue lights on the front to switch between devices. super easy! Does exactly what I expected and does it well (quickly). If you're looking for something similar, in my experience you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended!
