Works very simply. best in computers and accessories

got this to replace one i had for a long time and finally passed TU. This works very well. I love that it has 2 switched USB ports for peripherals as well as USB ports for KYBD and a mouse, all on the back, keeping the front uncluttered. The only downside, and then insignificant, is that each cable in the kit is a separate cable. this. one each for microphone, speaker, USB and DVI connections. Luckily the combo cables from my old KVM switch worked, so no NBD and no stars.

Pros
  • great price
Cons
  • sad hardware

Works very well for external components

I've had several of these devices from different manufacturers and they've been both good and quirky. This one is no different. This works very well most of the time, but sometimes when I change monitors the screen gets really small and I have to turn the monitor off and on again to get it to the right size. This is a minor annoyance in a product that otherwise performs very well and does what few other KVMs can - 2560-1440 resolution with DVI.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Doesn't work with wireless keyboard and mouse

Does NOT work with wireless keyboard and mouse although it worked initially it only worked for a long time so I couldn't return it then they said when contacting tech support It was not intended to be used with wireless communication, hmmm, this is not mentioned at all in the instructions, their solution is to unplug and reconnect all the cables every time you want to switch to another computer. You know what? IO Gear sells one for less and it's for wireless, I threw away hundreds of dollars…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Annoying

Works as advertised and with a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600

This product is good and the price is good. However, I had to return it as I had changed my mind about this setting. One downside (for me at least) was that if you have PC1 or PC2, for example, the light on the button will blink constantly. It continues to blink even when the computer is off. I have it right in front of my monitor so it annoys me. If I keep his face away from me, he can't bother me. Generally the product works as advertised, clean and crisp 2560 x 1600 resolution.

Pros
  • 2 additional shared USB ports for storage devices or printers
Cons
  • Style 90

Doesn't work with wireless keyboard and mouse

Does NOT work with wireless keyboard and mouse, although it worked initially it worked long enough that I couldn't return it when I spoke to tech support, they said it's not meant to be used with wifi, hmmm, this isn't mentioned at all in the instructions, their solution is to unplug all the cables and plug them back in every time you want to switch to a different computer. You know what? IO Gear sells one for less and it's for wireless, I threw away hundreds of dollars, learn from your…

Pros
  • Supports HD resolutions above 1080p
Cons
  • Neutral
