Pros: - It's 1/3 the price of most other 8-port USB KVMs on the market.Cons:- No on-screen display makes it harder to set up, use, and troubleshoot- It stopped working after 2 years of light use (tried resetting to factory defaults, still borked)
This thing is nearly useless with USB keyboard/mouse, at least in our situation.The mouse won't work at all for 20-30 seconds (cursor is frozen), then might work for 3-10 seconds, then won't work again. Trendnet tech support had nothing to suggest other than the usual litany of "what cable are you using, have you tried a different keyboard and mouse" etc. Repeat. Mouse clicks are also bad, sometimes you have to click 15-20 times for it to "take".Keyboard commands are also compromised. Of course we are using Trendnet cables, have tried 4 different brands of keyb/mouse, and still no usable results.I can't condemn the product wholesale, perhaps the PCs we are using have some magic, voodoo settings that preclude their use with a KVM switch (he said facetiously). Buyer beware.
Great product.Works just like the ad.easy to setup and just works.Nohacks
I really wasn't sure what to expect from this product. I now have it hooked up in a server room with eight servers and it works great. Based on it's price, I didn't expect much.It was easy to setup. The construction seems durable. It hasn't skipped a beat.The only negative would be the video quality dropped slightly when run through this box. Not a big deal since you will usually use this with servers.
