Smooth installation on Windows 7. Easy to switch amongst 2 computers. No dilemma with excellent of video. Mouse and keyboard perform function nicely None - but make certain you are getting a model with appropriate connections for your mouse and keyboard (PS2 vs USB).

Operating good, amazing price tag I wish there was hotkey switching. Sometimes image gets fuzzy but I hit the auto-adjust on my monitor and it comes back to looking great. Can't even tell video is going via a KVM.

Comment:
Operates good even though I am not utilizing the VGA connectors, but that is so it switches from each monitor substantially faster, about 5 seconds faster. Either way, it performs nicely making use of all the connections, or just the usb for your keyboard and mouse. None Great all about and really like the wired remote button it has, tends to make hiding all the crazy wires someplace else and still be in a position to handle the unit.

If worked adequately, would be great - easy, unobtrusive resolution. Initially one was flaky out of the box on the switch for the second machine. Would get random USB detection messages, keyboard or mouse would stop working for a handful of seconds, start out again, etc. Named Rosewill, tech assistance admitted it was a manufacturing defect and that I would have to call Newegg to initiate a reutnr.Known as Newegg, sent another unit. This unit worked excellent for four-5 days... then same flakiness reappeared on port 2, but once more. Due to the quantity of fantastic critiques I have to think these units are from a poor batch. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Consumer,Thank you incredibly a lot for acquire the RKV-2UC. The issue may possibly be due to a defective unit and this is causing the Pc to give USB errors.

Functions well, just as excellent as my rackmount KVM at work but much less $$$$ The USB cables for the workstations are nicely thin. If you utilised it alot I could see you cutting or breaking these.

Comment:
Performs fantastic. A actual space saver for setting up new computers.I enjoy it. None

Comment:
Actual switch signifies no swap essential issues. Lasted 1.five years, warranty 1 year. Rosewill stated "tough!". Iogear KVMs have three year warranties.

Comment:
Uncomplicated to hook up and use. Worked wonderful for awhile. Died after only three months of restricted use.

Comment:
Works great. Got fed up switching K and M in between my function and residence machines - this switch is ideal for my needs.Cheap. Shame it wasn't HDMI instead of DVI for the V portion.

Comment:
Really lengthy cord for the switch, and the switch is really smallerHas a HARDWARE SWITCH (A push button), miles ahead of software switches.. calls for (and includes) NO Software program. Computers recognize each device directly, not by means of a hub or otherwise, as if they were connected, and switches speedily.Sturdy construct with thick, nicely insulated cables, incredibly heavy and solid, not what I expected for a pocket adjust KVM Cables are brief but acceptable, my setup involve a laptop and a desktop, which are 34" apart, (on each and every side of a 23" monitor), the cables at this point, are virtually tight.Video passthrough is WORTHLESS - granted, I'm on a 23" monitor and am attempting to run it at a 1920x1080 resolution 񡺸p), but it is extremely blurry, nevertheless the desktop will connect by way of HDMI and the laptop with DSUB, so I just won't use the video passthrough. Wonderful for what it's for, guys c'mon this point is Low cost! Nevertheless the develop is rock solid, I would only reccomend this to, nevertheless, everyone who will be making use of it for USB ONLY, in my case my speakers have two inputs as does my monitor, so I only needed it for USB, and that's all I'm going to use it for. The video is useless and it lacks audio, but you get what you paid for, I'd reccomend it.

Comment:
see earlier, key critique In my evaluation (for some purpose I can't edit it) I noted that the kvm appears to just switch out the kbd and mouse devoid of placing placeholder loads on the ports. This doesn't seem to be a difficulty when the program is up, but it implies that, depending on how picky the BIOSes are, trying to boot both machines at the exact same time will result in the defocused a single hanging since it thinks it doesn't have a keyboard.

Comment:
This switch functions wonderful for its purpose and was only ฤ. You can't beat that. none

Rapidly switching between WinXP and Ubuntu Pc. Operates in BIOS for both Pc's. Cord length is perfect for two Pc's about 5 foot apart. KVM switch mounts nicely subsequent to keyboard and has a excellent feel. Functions perfectly out of the box for both WinXP and Ubuntu. Passes info to Linux and WinXP of actual devices. Here a Logitech Mouse and ABS Keyboard. Had to shut off Windows connect hardware sounds as they got annoying. No egg off for that, that's a Windows issue. And if you shut off the sounds you in no way notice that there's any 'connecting' going on. It's that fast. Purchased this KVM based on the Newegg evaluations and again I am really pleased. I've been utilizing a Linksys PS2 KVM that worked extremely effectively, but wanted to upgrade the Pc's to USB Keyboard and Mouse. This KVM is perfect for that.

I use it just for the USB ports to share keyboard and mouse between my server and my primary Pc. The switch button getting on a good extended cord of its personal makes it particularly handy. Would have been good if the cords had been longer so I could set the device exactly where I can see the status lights. I run 3 computer systems often, which includes my server. My server runs a software package KM switching product that will then share the keyboard and mouse with all my computer systems, if I have input set to go to my server. Otherwise, I have input go straight into the key Computer for optimal input latency. This enabled that hardware switching to occur with the push of a button.

I replaced an old KVM that was PSǘ rather than USB. This unit does the same job, switches nicely between computers. My old KVM would switch devices making use of a keyboard command. I do miss that a bit but the remote button performs Okay.

Comment:
Incredibly simple to set up, but most KVM switches are. Modest and effortless to hide. Speedy alter more than and no lag with keyboard or mouse responding right after adjust over. The video appears just a bit much less sharp on the monitor I have it attached to. Typical individual would almost certainly not notice it, but I have dual VGA monitors and only 1 is connected. I noticed the difference, but it seems to sharpen up soon after a handful of minutes on. This is a great inexpensive unit, I would advocate it. I have had a handful of other people that were very good also, but necessary to move to a USB remedy as practically nothing I function on these days has PS2 and the ones that do, also have plenty of USB ports.

Comment:
It does as advertised Be careful and do not assume it permits keyboard switching, you have to use the odd small switch. I in no way back anything that ADDS cables to my desk.

Comment:
Worked ideal out of the box Simple setup works Wonderful with my Windows Machine as nicely as my Linux Server Small and had more then adequate Cord to Reach each Machines. Shipping Took additional then 3 Days Ups created up for that. Will Purchase one more one particular soon.

Comment:
Easy to setup, separate cable with button to switch in between PCs. None. Often it takes many seconds for the usb devices to be readily available on the active laptop or computer, not a big deal although.

Comment:
inexpensive, compact. Unit arived and setup according to uer's manual. seeking down at the head with the two computer system connections at the bottom and the usb & video input connections at the leading the manual shows the keyboard on the left and the mouse on the right. connect this way had video but NO mouse or keyboard on either laptop or computer. place keybord input in mouse position and mouse in keyboard position each computer systems worked. Either the manual is not coorrect or the unit was wired backwards.

It works, and it’s affordable. It functions friendly with wireless mouse and keyboard. Even if you connect 2nd set of keyboard and mouse on Computer, they will just function fine with out interfere every other. I know most individuals will not connect 2nd set of keyboard and mouse to the identical Pc, but I need them for my operate. I dumped my old KVM due to the fact when I connect 2nd mouse, the system just hang up. When I switch amongst PCs, the mouse will stop response for about 8 seconds. It generally happen when I switch from a single to the other, but in no way the other way around. Possibly it was hardware or software concern of Pc, I don’t know. The 2 screws on the VGA finish are joke. They are very slippery and are too tricky to be twisted by fingers. Whoever created those screws ought to be fired right away.

Comment:
Price. Has a challenge with Linux (Mandrivia) system and Vista Ultimate on identical switch. If the Linux system is up and getting utilized initially, the Vista technique cannot be identified. Cables are too brief to get to systems - want tobe1' longer. I should have spent more income and got a far better KVM. Reside and study.

Comment:
Functions as advertised. Video good quality is horrendous.The wires are short, if you don't have your computers suitable subsequent to each other don't bother. This is my initially KVM. I'm not impressed with the video part of it, wound up using it just as a USB switch for my wireless keyboard/mouse combo and printer.

Comment:
Uncomplicated to setup It is unstable. Everytime whilst switching, mouse and keyboard DO NOT function any more!!! I am so disappointed about this product. I have to turn off the power from machine when the mouse and keyboard areno longer operating.
