Pros: PriceIncludes Audio Connections
Comment:
Good KVM for the price point,easily switch between 2 PC's. Includes Audio which allows for one set of speakers/headset to share along with one keyboard/mouse. Used some cable ties to organize the tangled mess. Switches quickly with scroll key or the on the box buttons. |

Cons: connector on all side so it's hard to do a clean setup if you let it on your desk
Pros: All cable includedGood quality for the price Comment:
Connected 2 computer and was running in minutes. With typical kvm you get video, mouse and keyboard but with this one you also get sound. Didn't noticed any lag on keypress or sound. |

Cons: Too Many Wires? (Hard to avoid for multiple computers though.)
Pros: Multiple Computer SupportAudio Support Comment:
I purchased this KVM for computer related services and related reasons for the repair services I offer.It works great, and you've got a switch in the form of button 1 & 2 for the computers.Works perfectly and saves me a huge headache of having to swap the Keyboard/Mouse/VGA cords between computers.Responds instantly, a must have for computer repair. |

Cons: Doesn't fully support USB peripherals such as webcamsUses 'scroll lock' hotkey which some keyboards don't have
Pros: Ease of UseCompactPrice Comment:
This is a good product for the price. Simply hook it up to the corresponding ports and you're set to go. Considering the number of connectors on this thing, the size is very very small.However, it still uses the scroll-lock hotkey switch which isn't supported by most Logitech keyboards. They could have easily switched to a num-lock hotkey instead. Also, the 2 USB ports are only for keyboard and mouse, so if you have a keyboard/mouse combo and want to use the other USB for something else such as a webcam, you're SOL.Bottom Line: If a basic KVM switch is all you want, this is a great buy. |

Cons: Layout
Pros: Compact Size Comment:
This product performs as intended. The only complaint is that it adds to the tangled cable mess found around most peoples computers. It would have been nice if the this didn't have connections on all four sides, but I suppose it would have been larger then. |

Cons:
Plastic madePaint wears offNot wall/desk mountable
Pros: Works as intendedKeyboard shortcut works well Comment:
It's a good product for it's price. Note that I only use the USB port on it. So I cannot talk about VGA or audio quality through it (I use VGA and HDMI directly on monitor from the computers instead). I've never had any problem switching with the keyboard shortcut (2x scroll-lock), which I need because the switch is under the desk.Speaking of under the desk, it's there because it's not wall-mountable, so it just hangs there. Also, it's made out of plastic, so do not abuse of it. The paint wears moderately easily as well.But despite the negatives, I am satisfied with it and I would recommend for a cheap KVM switch. |

Cons:
no external power supply
Pros: small simple effective and cheap Comment:
I use this to switch between my main pc and my netbook while useing my projector, it works very well, and the only complaint I have, is that when I swith my netbook off, it kills the kvm, and I cannot use the desktop, which is too far away to plug the usb into. I think a simple usb wall charger will work, so going to try that. |

Cons:
Audio switching
Pros: Easy USB hookup Comment:
Bought this on sale for the great price of $10. It is nice in how it connects both keyboard and mouse through one usb connector. It is supposed to allow independent audio switching but it needs the utility software installed to allow that function, where my old D-Link ps2 kvm handled audio switching through hardware by using different hotkeys. It still does what I need it to do so it gets my recommendation. |
I really liked this little KVM. I expected it to work poorly due to its low price but it works just great. Unlike my big Belkin switch, this one does not need an external power brick to operate. The only downside is that the front of the switch has ports which makes it really awkward to put on your desk and not have an octopus of wires coming out from it. I would have rather seen them make it a little longer to accommodate more rear ports. Because of that design flaw, I am giving 4 stars.
