Small and functional

"Simple and small, this KVM does what it needs to. No problems setting up: just plug everything in! The unit comes with cables and they seem to be working well. It works well too: I've had no problems switching between my two computers. This has made my desk much more tidy and saves me the effort of constant wire switching.

Ok...at first

"My first recommendation is buying the extended warranty! I had this KVM switch for 9 months when it conked out on me.

"I had one connected between my work laptop docking station and my home PC to facilitate dicking around while working at home. It seems to do the job ok, but VGA is becoming a dead connection type. You probably want DVI-D, the digital standard. In any case, that is not one of this product's shortf …"  Read Full Review »
