FJGEAR 2 Port USB 2.0 HDMI KVM Switch for PC, Windows - Keyboard Mouse Switcher (Not Compatible with Wireless Mouse Keyboard, No Power Required) Review

I bought this to use my Mac laptop and desktop PC on one monitor with a keyboard and mouse. My impression is that if I connect both monitor cables, keyboard and mouse of course, the Mac laptop should appear on my desktop screen when switching. This doesn't happen. Switching back and forth allows me to use the keyboard and mouse on the laptop, but that's about it. Nothing happens on the monitors. I tried different configurations and it just didn't switch screens. I'm disappointed. I still have…

Where do I start. First, all instructions are in Chinese. Didn't work and I couldn't troubleshoot as there is no website and again the instructions are not in English. With that, the installation looked pretty easy. Not only did it never work, it fried my mouse and keyboard. Please stay away from this product!

ONLY works with USB 2.0. DO NOT get it if the computer you want to switch between doesn't have a working old-school USB 2.0 port. I was very confused when we first got this because I could NOT get it to work properly. Whatever I did, it didn't work properly. I've tried connecting an external power supply, switching between USB ports, etc., nothing worked until I found out that both computers needed to be plugged into USB 2.0 ports, after finding out everything worked great. My wife used this…

The first month worked very well; I even connected my printer through it for easier access by both computers. Then the wired mouse stopped responding. The mouse worked well when plugged into each computer, so we figured it was the Switch. Then the wired keyboard started doing the same. So far it still toggles the HDMI monitor with no problem, but I'm looking for a new KVM switch because having two keyboards on the desk at the same time is annoying.
