I love this KVM. I bought the two port version.I have a 22" DELL LCD on my desk. I usually need to have other systems on the desk from time to time (repairs, testing, etc) and didn't want another monitor so I purchased this KVM switch.I've been using the product for months now - works fine.Product came with all the necessary cables to hookup my additional system.One LCD, one keyboard, one mouse is the way to go.
This item was for my boyfriend and he said that it works great and it was shipped very fast.
works very well easy to install and very easy to switch computers without any problems
No real problems with this device and it functions well. I mainly wanted to share a usb keyboard and mouse between two systems. The video through VGA was tested and works fine, but I just switch through my monitor because it supports HDMI and DVI. Sometimes it will glitch out and you need to unplug everything and kill the power and reattach, but it runs fine 99% of the time and I have no complaints. It fills my needs perfectly.
Laptop recognized hardware in about 40 seconds on a boot (Intel T9400 w/fine-tuned XP pro baby is up in 14 sec. Dell's 19" CRT also attached directly to the workstation via DMS-59 Dual-display VGA Video Splitter powered by NVidia GPU. Double-"Scroll Lock" switches between Desktop (PC #1) and Laptop (PC #2) with video rendering almost instantaneous and input devises active in just under 2-3 seconds. Windows warning message that dual-monitor not supported [anymore].oops.
Guess what I do with the second USB reserved for mouse - yep, to share memory stick (Kingston). My Precision's extended CRT is in black-out. Power off Latitude and plugged in TK-207K. Power off Precision and plugged in TrendNet's TK-207K, IOGear's GKM541RA (using keyboard USB port), and NEC's LCD22WV (native resolution 1680x1050). 480 mbit/s. [legitimate] NEC video drivers to possibly address this issue nowhere to be found.
When either desktop or laptop in "Stand by" or "Hibernate" use hard buttons on TK-207K to switch between the two (check manufacture BIOS for "wake-up" settings). If you paid any attention my IOGear combo only uses one USB port reserved for keyboard.
For $10 (after mail-in rebate) if this little device could handle my particular setup I'll have to send above-and-beyond card to TrendNet's engineers, but for now it seem like does what it design for and then some.Time will tell how long will it last. Took up to a minute for desktop to recognize hardware on the boot; Image quality (NEC) and input devices (IOGear) response time consistent with the original (w/out KVM) setup.
(I'll try other things when I'm really bored). flat from power-on - oh yeah).
Dual-mode display on E6400 powered by NVidia GPU via VGA works, but native resolution NEC image quality down about 10-15% and not as sharp compared to original (w/out KVM) setup, but still adequate. Keep in mind that it is USB version 1.1 operating at about 12 mbit/s about 40 times slower than now adopted USB 2.0 at operating at theoretical max.
If you don't hear from me on this post for awhile it probably still working.I'll update if find solution to my dual-monitor setup.*** UPDATE ***************************************************It has been 10 days now as I start using this KVM switch and it still going strong.Dual-monitor issue has been resolved on both, Precision 360 (GPU driver upgrade) and Latitude E6400 with few clicks on Device Management console.Bottom line is with $10 and about 1 hour time invested into setting up my configuration I'm much more productive and can't be happier with this TrenNet's product.
