Wouldn't work between a mac and pc |
This thing worked just fine between 2 pcs but wouldn't work with a PowerMac Dual G4 with USB. When switching back to the mac it would lock OS 10.4 completely, forcing a reboot. I did indeed return it and amazon credited my money back quickly.
Thanks Marketadvisory! I would seriously consider going elsewhere if you want to be assured of Mac compatibility. |

Works Great -- Much better than similar item which costs 4 times as much |
The TRENDnet TK-209K is an outstanding bargain. Works great and set-up was super easy. I use it with two laptops (one Dell, one Fujitsu), a Viewsonic monitor, and a Microsoft Wireless Laser 7000 Keyboard/Mouse bluetooth combo.
I purchased an IOGEAR KVM switch last week that costs 4 times as much and which I could not get to work with the keyboard/mouse. The monitor worked but I figured that I would just swap for the cheaper TRENDnet if all that was going to work was the monitor. I honestly did not expect the keyboard/mouse to work but it does. I am so thrilled that this inexpensive switch beats the fancy more expensive one and does what I need.
No, it's not pretty, and maybe cables are all over the place but it works. Which is what is really important to me. |

Good KVM switch |
|
I am using this KVM switch with a computer running Vista Premium, and another computer running XP. I read a review that said this switch would not work with video cards, but I am running it with an NVIDIA Quadro card and it works fine. |

It works as advertised |
|
Easy to connect (includes the cables); readily allows you to operate two PC's using one mouse, monitor, keyboard and set of speakers. {Note: there's a PS-2 KVM switch available if you have PS-2 mouse & keyboard.} My only problem is waking a sleeping PC (on power scheme); hitting the keyboard spacebar doesn't do it. Otherwise, you can easily switch between running PC's using the "hot key" (scroll-lock + scroll-lock, preprogramed). I got this to assist in migrating from an old PC to a new PC, but was so much fun I've kept the old one in place as an "installed spare/back-up". |

works good |
It works good. I have a Compaq PC with Windows XP. The switching takes about 5 seconds. There are 2 connection sounds that you hear from the PC speakers when the switch is done (just normal Windows sounds), so you know when control is passed from one PC to another. I hit the "scroll lock" key twice for my switching. You can also switch by using the 2 buttons on top of the unit (but my unit is on top of my PC, which sits on the floor).
I usually put my main PC to sleep. I used to do hibernate, but that seems to have problems with the KVM (sometimes). So, I use sleep mode instead, and it works great.
I would buy it again, if I needed one.
