    4 out of 5 stars Good KVM switch for the price   September 29, 2008
    Lonnie Buchanon (Auburndale, FL)
    Our company purchased this item to switch between two G4 Power Macs and two older PC's. The Macs work perfectly--flawlessly--with this switch. Switching is almost instantaneous and we've not seen an error yet. However, the older PC's (running Windows 98) are a little squirrely in that they do find the USB keyboard and mouse, but when they are switched off for another computer for a while they lose track of the KVM switch, thus can't be accessed, and we have to hard restart them. I think this has more to do with the age of these PC's and their OS. If we had newer PC's running XP I think they would behave better. In the meantime, we will simply leave a keyboard & mouse plugged into each PC so we can restart them when they get lost.

    There is one caveat about this switch: Trendnet uses a proprietary cabling system. The cables are NOT standard USB & VGA cables, but are an odd combination that will only work with the Trendnet switch. If this switch were to fail in the future, we would either have to buy another Trendnet switch or replace it with a different brand along with cables ($).

    If you don't mind the cables, this switch is definitely the best bang for the buck.



    3 out of 5 stars Just OK   September 7, 2008
    P. Roos (Marietta, GA)
    The TRENDnet 4-Port USB KVM Swith works just not as well as I would like. My major complaint is the lag when moving between CPUs. There is a significiant period of time before the mouse and keyboard are active following the switch. This is most notable if playing an MMO. The MMO simply locks up and you have to reboot.

    The installation is well documented and easy. Having the cables included is also a real plus.



    5 out of 5 stars Good product   August 29, 2008

    I have used this switch for a few weeks now. It performs flawlessly for the most part. Twice it got confused and refused to switch my usb mouse and keyboard over and that was frustrating because the only way I could reset it was to completely reboot both systems. But I have probably switched it a hundred times and it only hiccupped twice.

    I would recommend it.



    1 out of 5 stars Junk   August 27, 2008
    Charles G. (San Francisco, CA USA)
    We used this to replace a non-USB KVM that worked well. This one keeps pretending that we are hitting the "enter" key avery now and then and switchovers don't always work without freezing the machine.

    Go Elsewhere.
