    5 out of 5 stars Delighted w/ this KVM Switch   August 13, 2008
    T. Becker (Rancho Mirage, CA)
    I was a bit anxious about purchasing a kvm switch. I did not have any first hand experience with these devices, and also was a bit put off by other reviews of competing KVM products.

    I received the TrendNet KVM switch in short order and in good condition. That particular weekend was spent in setting up my wife's new pc and right after that planned on diving into installing my KVM switch.

    I opened the box and saw the cables and the CD. My expectation was that this install was going to be anything but easy. Wow, was I surprised! I didn't have to install any drivers but simply had to re-arrange my VGA cables and mouse/keyboard wireless usb receiver. The only problem I ran into was the mouse/keyboard usb receiver needed to be plugged into the KVM switch mouse port. Voila! It worked perfectly with the wireless mouse and keyboard with complete functionality. (I have a Dell computer.) I've been using it all week - what a delight.

    I think this product is a bargain - get it, get it now if you need a KVM switch.



    4 out of 5 stars Works well for the price   August 7, 2008
    D. Gallant (Lee, NH USA)
    First off, this is probably one of the cheapest 4-Port USB KVM switches out there so you cannot expect the same performance of one that is 4 times the price. It comes with all the cables you need. In general, it works - I have 3 Windows XP PCs attached to this with a USB Keyboard and USB Mouse. The hotkey works quickly and for the most part it switches within 3 seconds without any problems. Rarely, the switch stops working and I have to unplug all the connections and reattatch which is annoying. I do not use speakers on my PCs so I cannot speak to the audio switcing. I agree with other reviews that the design is stupid because all the cables come out of the 4 sides making it a spider mess of cables. Other than that, it's a good budget KVM.


    2 out of 5 stars Works ok... for a while.   April 20, 2008

    I have the 2 port and 4 port TrendNet kvm's and both worked fine for a few months with no problems including recognizing various wireless hardware. However, after a few months both units have problems with either a usb or video port. I'm a bit disappointed that both have issues after spending nearly $100 combined but I guess I'll stick to tried and true hardware from Linksys or a couple of other companies I've had very good products from.

    I wish I could find things lately that still work as good as the wireless Logitech keyboard I'm typing on that I bought from Amazon back about 2001! After trying several others it still works fine.

    Your mileage may vary.



    3 out of 5 stars Good switch but....   April 15, 2008
    D. OConnor (Boston, MA. USA)
    I found the switch very easy to set up, and overall is good value for money. The major issue I found with the switch is that it take 15 to 20 seconds to switch from one system to another.

    I have two laptops in my home office and only wanted to share a common keyboard and mouse between them. The switch is OK, but if you want to frequently switch between machines it can slow you down.



    5 out of 5 stars A great choice for a USB KVM (with audio).   March 27, 2008
    C. Jeffers (Tulsa, OK)
    I love this thing! It comes with everything you need to get started. Currently, I have it connected to my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, my Dell Dimension E520 desktop with Windows XP, My Linux server running Centos, and I have one slot open for testing and repair of other equipment.

    In some previous reviews others mentioned the delay when switching between pc's. I was concerned when I read that (after I placed the order and before I recieved it) but having used it I can say the delay is at most 2 to 5 seconds. Not really a big deal and very acceptable considering the fact it is using USB.

    If your looking for a USB KVM this is the way to go. The sound option is great.

    In case anyone is wondering it comes with 4 sets of cables. Each set includes two audio cables colored ping and green for mic and speakers on both ends and one cable that looks like a standard VGA connection on one end (this part connects to the KVM) and has a VGA connection on the other end and a USB connection (this is the end the connects to the pc).

    Setup is a breeze and I did not even need the software or manual.
