My only complaint on this item is that one of my pc s will not toggle with the double scroll lock or hot key and I have to use the button on the unit itself which is a pain but doable. Price is right so I won t complain too loudly. :)

We purchased 3 of these and they work great. I use them with PC's and with Solaris UNIX systems. They are compact and simple to use.
I wish Office-Depot would also carry their 4-port model.
I was able to get phone support too - to ask about the Solaris systems. They said if it didn't work, they'd be happy to refund. Of course, it worked great.
Thanks TRENDnet!

Ron Burgandy says:
This Trendnet switch simply has a hot/cold switch for power to one of two computers that are run through this TK-207K switch kit. The biggest feature lacking I never thought of until after the fact is that there is no speaker sharing capabilities. If you have a great pair of computer speakers this switch has no way to link the speakers through it to utilize with whichever computer is selected. It is easy to set up and the switch from one computer to the other is immediate. I just wish they built a speaker port into the switch! I ran a USB sound card through a USB port on the switch and the sound quality stinks, but that is a possible low quality work around.

Otherwise works great with Windows (just have to switch BEFORE shutting desktop down...may be related to lower power output from laptop USB port).

Rick S says:
Easiest KVM setup I have ever done...and with only 2 connections to the PC! The KVM cable piggybacks mouse keyboard through one USB connection to the PC, saving ports for other items. Connected an XP box and a Vista box -- neither had any problems and there was nothing to install.

This KVM delivered for me. My wife no longer has to switch monitor cables to use her computer when I m on the road. Works great on my 24 inch 1920X1200 resolution screen. I also plugged a USB hub into one USB port so it ll switch any USB device instead of only mouse and keyboard. I also liked the cables that were included as they reduce the desk clutter. For the price I m not sure you can get anything close.
March 25, 2008
Sam says:
What can I say, connect all the cables, and it works!!! I am sharing a flat panel monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse, between a desktop and a Thinkpad laptop. No problems. The four foot cables were a little challenge, but I was able to position things where they would reach. Six foot cables would have been nicer.

I m using this with a PowerMac G4 Tower and a generic Windows XP box at work. Worked perfectly as soon as it was set up. Plusses: All-in-one video/USB cable (cuts down on the clutter), No external power supply required (I ve seen other KVMs which require a power brick), Inexpensive. Just one complaint - because of the placing of the USB ports on the Front of the box, the keyboard and mouse cables end up sticking out. It would have been a cleaner design to have these on the right side of the box.

I have two of these TrendNet USB KVM switches. They are easy to use, don t need a separate power cable and extremely simple to set up. The only thing I could complain about is a lack of a separate USB port to serve as a hub for a shared printer. Other than that, it s been working great. I ve had one of these for about a month now, and the second one for a week - no problems so far. I haven t had a chance to compare these to other KVM switches so I can t say this one is necessarily better.

Peter H. says:
works just as advertised; enables you to control two computers with only one monitor (vga 15pin, not DVI) and up to 2 USB devices. it switches back and forth with the simple press of a button; takes a few seconds when switching (probably so each computer can detect the usb devices); came with software but i never needed to load it. note: the cables that connect to each of the computers appear to be proprietary - seems the usb signal and the video signal run over the same cable (vga 15pin) so don t lose your cables. not much else to say other than it does what it is supposed to and it hardly costs anything
