Still I am still trying to figure out how to use the device between 2 computers so that I am able to use one monitor, so this will be an intermediate review. Someone may be able to help me by providing a clue as to why the second computer goes into "POWER SAVE" MODE and displays a black monitor display. I tried it for 2 days The device had to be tested for three days before it worked In the beginning, I received an error on the monitor that said, "Not supported. ". The error occurs with a Belkin KVM, but I don't know what that means. We eventually made the Belkin work, but not "Viki. " After having tried dozens of times, we made it work. We searched and changed the POWER SETTINGS for both computers to see if it was possible this was what was causing "POWER SAVE" mode on the Vista machine that prevented it from showing the monitor, but the monitor on the Win7 machine still worked. No difference was found. that the CMOS battery is dying and causing the monitor on Vista to work as it should with this KVM?
Update here are some additional comments from "MT-" about this KVM It's me, Viki **What is to be done with the third USB port on the side of the device? A computer under the desk cannot be reached with the cables and the control button on the desk cannot be reached without a ladder. There is confusion in the manual's English and Chinese versions. The power save mode of the computer prevents the content on the second monitor from displaying because the two monitors are running on the same power supply. My sincerest thanks to all of you who listened Whenever/if I am able to make the KVM device work, I will update the review. REVIEW UPDATE, June 29, 21 - Never did get it to work as it was supposed to! The best I can do is plug this device into an extension cable and use it on my primary computer, then unplug it and use it on hers. My secondary machine is connected to an extension cable. I cannot use both machines at the same time on the same monitor! ( It was a disappointment.
The IOGear KVM switch that I wanted to buy could not be shipped to my address after I tried to order it. Living in Illinois, I have no family nearby. The reason for the silence is unknown. In its place, I purchased this. Most of the time, it works. There are two computers sharing a keyboard, screen, and mouse between them. Windows displays have a yellow tint, whereas the Linux displays look just fine. There is no doubt you can see everything, but it is ugly. The Linux computer is the one I use most and I can tolerate the look of the Windows display as long as I am using the Linux computer. Unfortunately I cannot test switching the cables to see what would happen. You can adjust the colors on your monitor, but that doesn't help much. Almost all IOGear models have a remote control that makes it possible to switch between computers without getting up from your seat. It is also possible to switch using the Scroll Lock button. You will not like this one as it has a switch on the unit itself, so in the event you need to switch back and forth a great deal, you will not like it. I recommend getting an IOGear instead if you live in an Amazon-delivery area and are lucky enough to be able to get one. As a postscript Upon using this for a while, I realized it could be used to share a printer, a keyboard, a mouse, and a display between two computers. I found that printer sharing works very well on this unit, and that would be a reason to invest in it if you do not have a yellow tinge on one of your display units.

The software runs perfectly, supports good VGA resolution, and comes with a software-guide A great price for a self-powered device. Care must be taken, since it is a self-powered device Because they are not powered, they cannot provide hot water The keyboard command is used to switch between features (where I assume they are keeping power needs I was able to connect my wireless mouse dongle to one of the common USB ports and it worked fine. The included manual failed to provide any useful information. You may feel a little confused about where to plug in if you are not tech savvy. As a result, I found it self-indulgent The explanation is simple, but I know some people who would find it hard to comprehend.
As I mentioned earlier, I used to own many KVM switches. One challenge with this device is that it does not come with software or a keyboard shortcut to toggle between the CPUs, but rather comes with a touch button. If you plan to mount the switch under your desk this could cause issues.
It does the job. The instructions for hookup don't have illustrations, so I'll add some tips for you You'll need to connect the two male USB ends of the VGA cables to the switched PCS's VGA connectors, then connect the other VGA end to one of the two KVM VGA inputs. Connect the female USB end of the cable to the PC. You should repeat the process for the Once the moose and keyboard are connected to KVM's front USB ports, you can start logging in. Is there a spare USB port on the KVM box available for flash drives or other items? It is small and has smooth switches. The video quality is adequate for a VGA monitor. This server does not host any games for me.
Although I had to use a Display Port adapter for VGA, it still worked properly.
Frankly, I did not expect much from a KVM under $20, but I decided it wouldn't hurt to try. It has to be said, I have been pleasantly surprised at how well this switch has worked. Multiple times a day, I switch between Linux and Windows 10 using this unit, and I don't have any problems with it. My only complaint is that I miss hot things - Keying between two PCs If you want that, you have to upgrade to a higher model. The durability of this product remains to be seen, but I give it five stars regarding ease of installation and proper operation.
