"Just what I was looking for - an easy way to run a desktop server and docked laptop with one monitor, one keyboard and one mouse. A few things you should know before plunking down for this - 1) Make sure you are using a keyboard and mouse that are either BOTH usb, or BOTH ps2. If you mix and match, you'll need an adapter for one of them, or have to replace the one that doesnt connect. They sell this product w..." Read Full Review »

I have found that by flipping it about 4 times it will sync itself and I get control of the desired computer. You might have to jiggle the remote ..." Read Full Review »
