Unreliable
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

My first one lasted 4 months, as did my second. The third one only lasted 4 weeks. It is really too bad because it is easy to set up and use, but the quality is just not there.

 
Very reliable

I use this to switch between my work laptop and my home PC so I can use my full size keyboard/mouse and LCD when working at home. Works very well. I can play music and check personal email while switching to work easily using the keyboard control. Plan to buy one for work!

 
worked better than direct connections
By busVerified Reviewer from east coast on 1/6/2008
Pros:
Compact, Easy To Set Up, Highly Compatible
Cons:
Cables are short
Best Uses:
Home Networks, Small Offices
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I used this 2 port USB KVM switch kit with my wireless keyboard and mouse and one monitor on two computers. One is an old gamer computer with Win98 as its OS and the other is a laptop with XP as its OS. The switch system is easer to use than swapping devices. The cables are included which makes the kit complete but they are only four feet long which means the computers must be almost back to back.

 
Can't beat the sale price!

For the sale price, I couldn't lose. I tried it and so far love it (it has been a week). I have more space freed up on my desk and can still play my fps's with no problem. Of course I'm not using the video as my LCD screen has those HDMI ports and don't want to downgrade my video.

 
Simple and works great

Pros:
Compact, Easy To Set Up, Highly Compatible
Best Uses:
Small Offices
Describe Yourself:
High bandwidth user
Primary use:
Business
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Did just what was advertised and worked simply and easily. Wish it included an extra USB for my printer, but still a good product. Like the hotkey option for switching, no software loading required.

 
Works Exactly As Advertised

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A great product so far. I've only had it for a short time but setup was a breeze, it's USB port powered, freeing a plug, works exactly as advertised.

 
Great product at a very reasonable price
By Jetlehr from Lincoln, NE on 10/22/2007
Pros:
Compact, Easy To Set Up
Cons:
Slow
Describe Yourself:
High bandwidth user
Primary use:
Business
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very easy to use. I have used other switches that were supposed to be plug and play but were not. I really liked the cabling system. Cables were included. Will be buying extras for business use. Only down side was switch time. Sometimes it took 5-10 seconds to switch to the other computer.

 
Piece of Junk
By Burnt by TrendNet from Kansas City, MO on 10/18/2007
Pros:
None
Cons:
Unreliable
Best Uses:
None
Describe Yourself:
High bandwidth user
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

After going through 2 units I figured out it doesn't work. My Mac couldn't recognize it's own keyboard on the first one. And the 2nd one wouldn't pass any usb, just video. I thought it was going to be cheap, but after 4 wasted hours including 3 trips and frustration, it was anything but.
