        Sharing a keyboard, mouse and sound screen between 2 PCs

        Despite some concerns about the implementation of this product, especially the connection cables, it turns out that it works well and switching from one PC to another is fast. The only downside is the space taken up by the box with all its cables connected around it.

        corresponds to the need

        allows the monitor/keyboard/mouse/HP/microphone group to be connected to 2 PCs and switched from one to the other

        Works perfectly between PC and Raspberry

        I have tried this product to share the keyboard and mouse between a PC and a raspberry pi 3 and it works perfectly for sound and peripherals.

        The Raspberry only has HDMI for video, so screen sharing is not achieved via this box.

        The argument of the KMV boxes is often "less cables on the desk" it is rather false because those included in the pack are rather bulky (USB + VGA). The placement of the box is thus a real question not to be submerged!

        The operation of the box is very simple and easy to use. a very good product!

        Nothing to say

        Simple installation and even simpler operation.

        I am very satisfied with this product .........

        Result over one year

        I bought this product so that I wouldn't have to buy a keyboard/mouse combo for my laptop/fixture setup. It really does the job and still does the job.
        I wanted something not too expensive, just to say switch between the two. Shortly after I discovered software switches which made it partially obsolete.
        But why such a note: I recently bought a backlit keyboard, and now I can't connect both PCs at the same time.
        I'm having a disturbing sound on the audio output, as both my PCs are connected to an audio hub. I realised that it was the backlighting.
        I've also found that even when I unplugged a PC, the screen connected to the switch also had noise from the usb devices, and I often have to plug/unplug these to eliminate the staircase effect that the KVM imposes.
        Finally, I would not have given such a bad mark if I had asked for the KVM to be repaired under warranty, and it came back unchanged. I was told that this was not normal.

        Performs the service described

        Works well.
        As indicated in the manual: Press the switch button BEFORE turning on the target PC to take into account the display resolution.
        To move files between the 2 PCs that are not networked, I used a USB power strip and put a USB stick on it in addition to the mouse and keyboard.
        It works, even if it seems that it's bad for the key...

        SATISFIED

        One mouse, one keyboard, one screen with built-in speakers and two PCs: Press 1 or 2 to access the desired PC: This is exactly what I wanted and I can tell you that it works under WINDOWS 10.

        Does the job

        device that works well but small problem for the return to w7 from a Mac, the keyboard shortcut verr. num. does not work, it is necessary to pass by the button PC1 of Trendnet to reach .....
        I'm not sure how to use this device, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use it.

        Functional but can be unstable

        I've been using it for a while now, but I've been experiencing regular disconnections of the mouse when I navigate between a Windows machine and a Linux machine (ubuntu) without an interface.
        It's enough to unplug the 2 vga plugs (so remove the power supply) for everything to work again.

        The rest is no problem, especially for this price

        Perfect

        To save space on the desktop and switch between PCs, simply ideal. And with the keyboard shortcut for switching, you don't even have to reach for it. Wireless mouse, USB keyboard, a tower and a laptop, no worries.

        Very good product

        This product has made it very easy for me to share a mouse, keyboard, monitor and 2 speakers for either a fixed desktop or laptop. I have finally finished going under the desk to unplug/plug cables. This purchase completely fulfills my initial expectation of sharing peripherals between 2 PCs. The 2 buttons (1 and 2) on the top allow you to activate the connections for either PC1 or PC2.

        impec

        It does what it is supposed to do. No surprises.
        Beware if like me you are using ubuntu (or any linux, I guess), it doesn't work if you switch off the PC to insert it and then reboot. Plug it in 'hot' and everything works fine.
        Also in ubuntu, the keyboard shortcut for switch is '2* verr num' not '2* arret defil'.

        Perfect for what I wanted

        When I ordered, when I saw the pictures on the website, I thought that 4 USB sockets were missing for the keyboard and mouse outputs. The contents of the box are not known either. Trusting LDLC I ordered anyway.
        And I was right because everything is provided: each VGA cable also carries a duplicate usb cable on each side, so that each PC sees its keyboard + mouse couple connected by only 1 usb cable .... connected in the vga socket of the Trendnet inverter (probably on the unused pins). No need for a power supply either! Once pc1 is switched on I switch on pc2 and we switch from one pc to the other by pressing button 2 then 1 ....
        The image arrives instantaneously, then you have to wait 2 seconds for the keyboard drivers to arrive and another 3 seconds for the mouse driver. And the icing on the cake is the sound switching to an external amp and normally the switched audio input.
        What more could you want? For only 30 euros more! For those who, like me, have old software that works under XP and not under W7-64, provided that you still have an xp pc in condition, this is THE solution.
        I am satisfied with this purchase.
        I have removed 1/2 star because I have a small bug on my Genius keyboard: if I press Ver-num twice (to light the corresponding light) it triggers the PC switch! but I think it is due to the driver of this keyboard which is not perfect more than the Trendnet box.

        Good product

        I haven't used this kind of hardware before so I can't say for sure.
        However, I needed to use the mouse/keyboard on 2 PCs, one fixed and one laptop and after easy connection it works very well. I haven't tested the sound yet but I think it should be good too

        works perfectly

        The KVM does exactly what I expected it to do.
        Easy to connect, a bit of a wait when first connected for the wireless keyboard and mouse to work but now it's fine.
        Switching from one PC to another is easy as long as you have the box handy.
