I needed to upgrade my KVM to allow for a wireless mouse. I decided on this switch to utilize the sound capability. On port one it was perfect but on the remaining three ports it sounds like I am attached to a heart machine, and I was busy having a heart attack. If you only need the wireless it is good although switching between ports can take a long time.
did a fantastic job, I contacted them and they sent me a brand new unit, the only problem is that both units have the same problem. I tried new cables, seperating the unit from possible interference sources even another computer with no luck. |

I went from five monitors and an HDTV on my desk to two monitors and the TV. The unit works very well (the ingenious cables help a LOT,) and my wife loves the way my desk looks now. I used a wireless keyboard and mouse with this KVM, and had ZERO problems with them.
NOTE: I am running PCs, Servers and a Mac Mini off this unit, and it works perfectly with all of them.
Pros:
* It just works.
* Very good design.
* Very good unit for the price. Corporate KVMs can be thousands of dollars.
Full disclosure: I don't use the audio function so I can't comment on that.
Cons:
* There is about a five-second lag when switching from one machine to another.
* If you want to use wireless USB mice/keyboards, it may take 2-3 minutes the first time you boot the machine for your OS to recognize the devices and install/configure the correct drivers. This is not a "con" per se, but be patient! You will be rewarded!
* The placement of the VGA/USB combined ports makes the unit a little hard to position correctly so that using it doesn't make it move. I found a place in my home office that works well, but be warned it's kind of awkward. The manufacturers might want to add some weight to the unit so that it's not as easy to move.
For a ~$50 4-port KVM solution that supports wireless & USB, it'd be hard to get a better deal. |

Great little switch. I have 4 computers currently connected and it has been working great, and especially for the price range. All I had to do was connect everything and reboot the computers. I have it on 3 Linux boxes and a Windows 7 box. I'm using a Logitech G15 (2nd gen) wired keyboard and wireless Logitech MX Revolution mouse. The USB receiver for the mouse is plugged into one of the USB ports on the keyboard. I then plugged the keyboard into the USB mouse port on the KVM and everything has worked great. I haven't tested out the really advanced functionality of the keyboard (the LCD display, basically), but the volume controls work just fine. The mouse doesn't seem to have any problems with the clicks, scroll wheel, and forward/back buttons. For the price, this has surprised me. The only pseudo-complaint that I have is the layout of the connections sends wires in all directions, but they're easy to bundle about 6" from the switch and don't really get in the way mounted under my desk. The audio only does 1 stereo line out and 1 microphone line in. So, if you have a good computer speaker setup (with 2-3+ plugs), it may be troublesome, but I really don't care enough to test. It may be possible that you can use the microphone line as a 2nd line for another line out, but, again, I haven't tested so take it with a grain of salt.
The switch just works, and that's all I really wanted. |

I purchased this KVM switch because my first one lost USB keyboard functionality. Nevertheless this is one of the best KVM switches because it works with 4 computers and includes audio as well as the normal monitor, keyboard and mouse functions. It supports my MAC (does not support my mac speakers - would have liked to have an adaptor for this included in the box though) and my 3 PCs.
It does work with a wireless mouse but I have not tested it with a wireless keyboard yet.
I highly recommend this product. |
