Good deal August 27, 2008
Worked right out of the box which is great because I'm not a techie! It switches between my PC tower and my MacMini using one monitor, USB mouse and keyboard. And the price is RIGHT. Only reason to hold back one star: once in a while it gets a little confused. But it's learning. That seems to be happening less often in the year and a half I've had it.
 Stops working after a few weeks August 27, 2008
After a couple of weeks the mouse stopped being recognized by either laptop. No problem. I just started using a separate mouse for each. Then, a week later, the keyboard stopped being recognized by either laptop. I tried using a separate keyboard for each. But, that was not very convenient. The mouse and keyboard still work fine when plugged directly into either laptop. So, I know the KVM switch is at fault.
 Works Great August 22, 2008
I was very skeptical about this product, given some of the mixed reactions it received. But given the price and the overall reputation of the manufacturer, I decided to give it a try.
This product works great. It switches every time, without fail. The only snafu I had in switching from my desktop to my laptop is the laptop would not come on. I thought it was a manufacturing flaw, and was ready to ship it back, when I remembered that my dell B130 (POS) has a function button for switching to monitors. Once I pressed that, it worked beautifully.
The only other problem I had was not with this product, but with my graphics card. When ever I switch over to the laptop, I have to again and again change the graphics card setting from laptop to monitor. But I found a keyboard shortcut that alleviates that step.
This is a great product. But please note: it does not switch audio, and it does not switch internet. I am a student and it works great for switching between my desktop and my laptop, since my notes are on the laptop. If you are looking for a functional and reliable KVM, buy it.
KVM switch August 11, 2008
Based on other reviewers' comments I understood the limitations with the TRENDnet KVM switch that the seller's and manufacturer's descriptions didn't adequately address: I had to abandon my Micro Inovations wireless keyboard/mouse combination, but using a new USB keyboard and the existing wireless mouse alone (USB) has not been a problem. The switch is tiny relative to the cabeling required, so it's easily displaced physically, but after wrestling it around under the desk, the switch is working with no functional defects.
Excellent value July 19, 2008

I have a home business, and needed to run a work PC and a server using one monitor, keyboard and mouse. This switch is excellent value for money. It took less than 5 minutes to set up, requires no external power source and no software, and has proven highly reliable. There is no degradation of video quality or lag in performance whatever.
Both of the PCs attached to my KVM are dual boot Windows/Linux (one Windows XP + Pardus and one Windows Vista + PC Linux OS). Unsurprisingly (given the fact that it is not software driven),the switch operates flawlessly no matter which operating system is being used.
Note: I was able to get this switch as audio is not a problem for me, but if you want your speakers to work on both boxes, you may want to look at a TRENDnet 2-Port PS/2 KVM Switch Kit w/ Audio (Includes 2x KVM Cables).
Re. TRENDNet: TRENDnet makes a lot of decent budget equipment - I use their wireless cards as the Atheros chips they use are generally Linux-friendly. I have never personally had a problem with their products.
