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)
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. Mouse clicks are also bad, sometimes you have to click 15-20 times for it to "take".Keyboard commands are also compromised. Buyer beware. 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. Repeat. 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).
Great product.Works just like the ad.easy to setup and just works.Nohacks
I now have it hooked up in a server room with eight servers and it works great. The construction seems durable. Not a big deal since you will usually use this with servers. I really wasn't sure what to expect from this product. Based on it's price, I didn't expect much.It was easy to setup. It hasn't skipped a beat.The only negative would be the video quality dropped slightly when run through this box.
