It's really good design and a bit annoying

The mouse will not work with this KVM switch if both computers have no power at the same time. I turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the back of the computer when not in use. This is very bad design and annoying. I wouldn't buy it again. I upgraded to 4 stars after Trendnet helped me to solve the problem. The mouse I'm using doesn't work over the switch. Even a brand new mouse of the same brand and model straight out of the box didn't work. The reason it didn't get 5 stars is…

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

I give it 5 stars for functionality and durability.

5 stars for functionality and durability. I've been using this since January 2015 with no problems (I hope I haven't jinxed it). That's more than 3 years of trouble-free operation. I'm not sure about the wireless mouse/keyboard warning. It's possible that some wireless network providers are having issues, so TRENDnet's staff is taking care of itself. I am currently using a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse (K520/M310) with a Dell Windows 10 desktop with no issues. Addendum: still works great…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Works GREAT sharing my 26 " Samsung monitor at 1920x1200 with DVI, YES!

Sometimes I am allowed to work from home and at work I like to use a large monitor, a real keyboard and a real mouse with my docking station. I have an even better monitor, keyboard and mouse for my home computer, so I figured why not use my home appliances with my work laptop. I got hold of a cheap used docking station for my work laptop on eBay and bought this KVM switch. on Revein. I just hooked up the cables for this KVM and everything worked beautifully. It came with software on a CD. I…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Switching works well but doesn't support video presence.

Switch works as advertised, keyboard and mouse switch perfectly between systems but does not support video presence on disabled monitor. I use 3 monitors connected to 2 PCs each, I use the 3rd as a second monitor between the 2 PCs so each PC works in dual monitor mode. When I switch from PC1 to PC2, PC1 now thinks it only has one monitor/desktop and everything from the second desktop monitor is transferred to the first one, completely repainting the desktop. Same when switching to PC2. And as…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Long time

Not the highest quality but gets the job done for the price.

these are decent when they work, i had one that stubbornly refused to work properly so i returned it and got a replacement (the return process was pretty painless). I use them in a dual monitor configuration to switch between docking my work laptop and my PC. The problem with these is that they don't work well unless both DVI ports are connected to a graphics card. This can cause problems when my laptop is undocked and/or when the screens flicker and don't stabilize. The solution for me…

Pros
  • is clear even to the old one
Cons
  • almost everything is there
