5 out of 5 stars Poor-Man's Hi-Def   October 2, 2008
I acquired this device so that I can connect my desktop and Xbox 360 to my LCD monitor. From the fist day that I acquire this product to this day, it has worked flawlessly.

It's easy to switch from desktop to Xbox and Xbox to desktop. Nonetheless, you don't have to have both devices for the switch kit to work.

I would recommend this product for anyone who wants to get hi-definition from their Xbox 360, but cannot afford a TV.



3 out of 5 stars Good budget KVM switch   September 20, 2008
Pros:
I don't think you'll find a better budget KVM switch. It is very easy to setup. The software is quite simple; very basic/no frills. Exactly what I expect from a something in this price range. The KVM switch itself is not cheap looking by any means. It's made of good quality plastic and the cables that are sent with it are pretty good too. It takes about 2-4 seconds to switch between PCs. Quite acceptable from a USB KVM switch. If this were a PS2 connection I'm sure it'd be much faster.

Cons:
It looks like it was designed to be smaller and take up less space, however because of the positioning of the ports the cables make this thing about 4-6 inches in diameter. I would have preferred it be wider and all the ports be in the back. Also, there is no way to mount it to a surface. So you're stuck with leaving it laying on your desk with the wires going everywhere. You could leave it laying behind your desk but I like using the buttons on top of it versus the keyboard. It also does not work well with my Logitech MX300 mouse. The scroll wheel works intermittently. All other features on my mouse work fine including middle mouse button click via the scroll wheel. I contacted tech support on through their online help desk. Their responses were professional but did take a few hours. They could not offer me any solutions and suggested I try a different mouse. A microsoft optical mouse works just fine. While they did not offer to fix the KVM they told me I would need to purchase a different mouse. No big deal, I need a new one anyway. :)

Summary:
Despite the mouse problems and the mediocre port design this is a very good budget KVM. It suits my needs and gets the job done efficiently. The age old question to the salesman is "Would you recommend one to your parents?". Yes, indeed I would.



4 out of 5 stars Switching between 2 Computers with Trendnet   September 16, 2008
This switch kit worked just as I expected. Many gave a reveiw it was slow switching. I have XP on one computer and Vista on a new computer. I did not have any problems unless I switched back and forth quickly then it took about a minute longer. I would recommend this product. Also, it was deleivered in a timely manner.


1 out of 5 stars Doesn't work very well. I am looking to get a better one.   September 13, 2008
I've been using for three months. It doesn't switch instantly -- always a delay. Sometimes the other computer completely freezes up--about once a day. Totally underwhelmed by Trendnet. I wonder if the rave reviews were planted? I fell for the cheap price. I bought this based on one of the multi-star recommendations that appear here. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!


3 out of 5 stars Defective Unit-stuck for postage   September 7, 2008
Switch arrived promptly but video feed did not work. Called and was given return instructions and UPS return label. Refund issued for amount of purchase only leaving me to pay the original postage. Personnel polite. Technical service answered within five minutes and tried to help. Think my non-working unit was a fluke rather than the norm.
