Works great at a great price
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. The construction seems durable. I now have it hooked up in a server room with eight servers and it works great. 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.
Great Product
Great product...
Works just like the ad...easy to setup and just works..
Nohacks
worthless with USB keys/mouse in our situation
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. Mouse clicks are also bad, sometimes you have to click 15-20 times for it to "take".
Keyboard commands are also compromised.
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. 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.
