HD KVM switch 2-port HDMI switch multi-computer USB mouse keyboard automatically switch 2 into a support:For Win98/ME/2KP4/XP/2003,Linux,MAC (Button models)

When I ordered this product I was somewhat apprehensive about the quality of it as it due to it being substantially cheaper than other similar products.The delivery time quoted was long but that wasn't a problem, however it arrived a lot faster than expected, so straight away a bonus.I'd previously bought a much more expensive item which, after much messing about and wasting of time, didn't work and had to be returned, so I was hoping for a better experience this time but prepared myself for the worst.As it turned out, it worked brilliantly, just plug and play, just what you always hope for but don't always get.I can have one or two machines on and switch between them easily, the remote button is great as it means you don't need to have all the wiring right by your keyboard or monitor, it can be hidden out of the way.All in all, a good product at a good price with good service. Win, win, win!

Was a bit concerned after other reviews. But, I've been using for a few days now without issue.

This thing is really fussy, I think because it steals power through the USB connections rather than being powered itself. You need both machines powered on and powered up in sequence or it doesn't work. Also it won't work if one of your machines is a Raspberry Pi or similar because the RPi can't tolerate that much current drain so won't boot. Make sure you use it through a separate powered hub in that case. Keyboard input seems a bit intermittent too with a wireless keyboard. Overall, it kind of works but it's not exactly trouble free.

Works fine so far, I'm able to switch between my Macbook and my Gaming rig very easily. My Keyboard however does not work through it. I'm not sure if it's to do with it trying to share the mouse and keyboard through one USB connection, but I wasn't able to get my keyboard to work at all, which is pretty frustrating.EDIT -This was my own fault, I have now fixed this issue. Basically, my Macbook was set as PC1, and didn't have the drivers. when switching to PC2 it still didn't work. Now I have the drivers on my mac, the keyboard works as it should do on both PC's

The problem with this bit of equipment is simple. Supposedly able to switch between two PCs it does so: intermittently. You cannot (as far as I can see) switch just one of the PCs on by itself and have it work. Except (on two occasions) it has done just that. Most of the time I need to have both PCs on, but when I switch back to one the screen does not show - there is something coming through to the monitor - it's not just "off", but it's just a grey screen because the backlight is on but no-one is home, so to speak. At the moment it's manageable, but at some point I will pick up a better switch. If you would prefer not to spend money twice on the same thing I'd avoid this.

I purchased this KVM to allow me to switch between a laptop and a desktop and use the same main monitor and keyboard/mouse. All went well for the first day or so, however, after a period of time when only one of the inputs was powered up I noticed that the monitor would go black for about 1 second every 20-30 seconds. If I powered up the second input to the KVM then it stopped this blanking of the screen.For some reason the KVM only works correctly with two devices connected and powered on...I'm sending this back and will look for an alternative model.

I purchased this to assist with my desktop PC and my laptop both using the one screen (laptop extended screen). It is exactly what I needed and works perfectly.

I have this KVM connected to 2 Win 10 PC's and a HDTV - good sound and picture. I have a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard that also work well ( once I had positioned the KVM to best receive the signals )I am only giving 4 stars becauseThe output HDMI should be at the back of the KVM. I have seen this but only on very expensive modelsI cannot switch PC's with the keyboard but it might be because the keyboard is wireless.
