 Works Great -- Much better than similar item which costs 4 times as much December 2, 2008
The TRENDnet TK-209K is an outstanding bargain. Works great and set-up was super easy. I use it with two laptops (one Dell, one Fujitsu), a Viewsonic monitor, and a Microsoft Wireless Laser 7000 Keyboard/Mouse bluetooth combo.
I purchased an IOGEAR KVM switch last week that costs 4 times as much and which I could not get to work with the keyboard/mouse. The monitor worked but I figured that I would just swap for the cheaper TRENDnet if all that was going to work was the monitor. I honestly did not expect the keyboard/mouse to work but it does. I am so thrilled that this inexpensive switch beats the fancy more expensive one and does what I need.
No, it's not pretty, and maybe cables are all over the place but it works. Which is what is really important to me.
Good KVM switch November 20, 2008
I am using this KVM switch with a computer running Vista Premium, and another computer running XP. I read a review that said this switch would not work with video cards, but I am running it with an NVIDIA Quadro card and it works fine.
It works as advertised November 16, 2008
Easy to connect (includes the cables); readily allows you to operate two PC's using one mouse, monitor, keyboard and set of speakers. {Note: there's a PS-2 KVM switch available if you have PS-2 mouse & keyboard.} My only problem is waking a sleeping PC (on power scheme); hitting the keyboard spacebar doesn't do it. Otherwise, you can easily switch between running PC's using the "hot key" (scroll-lock + scroll-lock, preprogramed). I got this to assist in migrating from an old PC to a new PC, but was so much fun I've kept the old one in place as an "installed spare/back-up".
works good November 15, 2008
It works good. I have a Compaq PC with Windows XP. The switching takes about 5 seconds. There are 2 connection sounds that you hear from the PC speakers when the switch is done (just normal Windows sounds), so you know when control is passed from one PC to another. I hit the "scroll lock" key twice for my switching. You can also switch by using the 2 buttons on top of the unit (but my unit is on top of my PC, which sits on the floor).
I usually put my main PC to sleep. I used to do hibernate, but that seems to have problems with the KVM (sometimes). So, I use sleep mode instead, and it works great.
I would buy it again, if I needed one.
 Doesn't work November 14, 2008
I was pretty excited about getting this KVM switch, but after hooking it up, i was pretty disappointed. When i hooked it up i found out although it says it works with a pretty high resolution, (i have an lcd screen) everything seems fuzzy and doesn't look that good. there was no way i could get it to work.
