TRENDNET 4PORT USB KVM SWITCH KIT W/
Cons:Toggle can be slightly slow (delay of up to 5 seconds sometimes)
Pros:Works on everything (even Ubuntu 12.04)Doesn't require separate power source Comment:
This awesome KVM works even in Linux, many users reported problems on Ubunto 12.04 (but instead of using scroll lock to toggle you can use num-lock and all is perfect).Finally a well priced 4 Computer KVM that really works. |

TRENDNET 4PORT USB KVM SWITCH KIT W/
Cons:haven't had any issues with this.
Pros:Quick to setup. Comes with all the cables needed. Comment:
Works great. Use num-lock switches between systems. Works with wireless. If you use only one of the USB ports the other can be used as an extra usb port for the system, quite handy. |
I upgraded from a ioGear GS632U 2-port KVM to run a laptop, PC and Apple TV from our board room in the office with audio and a wireless keyboard and mouse set. This unit is EXCELLENT.It worked flawlessly with our Microsoft Wireless Desktop 5000 Keyboard/Mouse combo, including support for double tapping the Scroll Lock key to switch. Although the two USB ports on the unit are labelled with a keyboard and mouse icon, the unit registers as a generic USB hub in Windows, which means it can likely support any USB device (although I haven't tried.) For this reason I suspect any wireless KB/Mouse combo would work well with it.The audio jacks are grounded properly, which means you won't get the humming noise, mouse scroll scratching and random noises you'll find with other KVM's (like the ioGear.)The manual buttons come in handy when connecting devices like the Apple TV who cannot receive a USB keyboard. The KVM detects if the device is registering the keyboard, and if not, the light blinks on the port showing you it isn't fully supported. For this, the manual buttons still make it possible to switch over.It's nice to have the KVM cables detached to reduce clutter. Also, the video/USB & audio cables are separated, so if you're not running audio through it, you can also skip that and not have a bunch of stupid plugs dangling around behind the computer.Notes on Setup: The Apple TV connected with the Kanex ATV Pro adapter (also here on NCIX.) It converts HDMI to VGA & 3.5mm Audio. I haven't tried but I think it would work with any HDMI output.
