Review on ๐Ÿ’ป 2-Port USB VGA KVM Switch for Sharing 2 PCs on 1 Monitor with Keyboard, Mouse, Scanner, and Printer by David Sanchez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It works โ€“ well, basically!

The switch works very well except for one thing. I use it to work with my old Windows Tower computer and an old Dell desktop that I have Linux installed on. With both machines up and running, the switch moves the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and headphone/mic between them fairly well. When I reboot the linux box everything is fine, but when I reboot the windows tower it doesn't reboot when the vga cable comes from the switch, it only reboots when a monitor is plugged directly into it. Then, once it restarts, I route the cables back according to the toggling instructions, and all is well - until it's time to restart the tower.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
