| Purchased this 4port after using the 2 port for a long time. However, I can't even use the audio jacks because it creates a high pitch sound that irritates and won't go away. It is in the box itself. While this is enough to negate the function of the audio plugs, to add to this problem the kvm apparently still passes noise coming from some peripheral that wasn't there before. I am going back to my 2 port and just deal with the physical changing of cables. |

| I had minor compatibility issue with one of the PC i have. After a couple of month of usage it will develop a issue with the PC where when i switch to that PC it will continue to blink the green light and will not turn solid and i was not able to see what is going on with that PC. After i plug all the cables and reconnected back to the KVM it will work. Can not get it to work if i only unplug the problem PC, all the cable needs to be removed ( i guess for it to rest or something). |

| Bought this to switch between two windows machine. It works great. I have a USB keyboard and mouse and if I want to switch between the 2 windows, machines I just have to hit a button. If you're looking for a basic 4 port KVM, this is a good one. The only missing feature is that it doesn't have a port for your speaker cable so whichever computer is your primary one is the one you should hook your speakers into. |

This is exactly what I needed. Switching speed is fast. No drivers, no software, has expected plug-n-play USB, just plugged it in and it works. Having the monitor cable + single USB cord per attached computer is nice as well since I have an old laptop that is short on usb connections. Cables included was a no-brainer as these can get quite expensive if you opt to purchase them separately. SCROLL-LOCK (x2) key combination works for switching as well but I typically use the hardware buttons now that I've gotten used to them. I have attached a newer HP Desktop (Windows 7), a 2 year old Toshiba Laptop (Win7), a two year old Compaq laptop (Win7) and an ancient PentiumII eMachine (512MB RAM) Windows XP and all computers worked flawlessly out of the box with their respective USB (auto) installs. I have a Logitech mouse that uses SetPoint software. This KVM even works with my center mouse clicking feature on my mouse which was not working with my older KVM. Perfect for home use or any computer/server you don't have or want a monitor for.
Very happy with this product, massive time saver and well worth the money. |

I've seen many comment on its placement of the connections, one each side making it a pain. Ok, that's true. My problem is I use VMWare often. When I move my mouse into the VM the KVM thinks I did something and it changes to the next computer. I then have to press the button on top switch.
Even with the slight hassle of hitting the button now and then after going into a VM, it's still worth it.
Other than it's funny plug locations on all sides, and the VM issue, its fine.
