Edimax 2-port KVM Switch
Reviewed by John. Review Posted 02/06/2008

I have used this device for 12 months, I find very useful when using 2 PC's, sometimes the 2nd PC won't work correctly when first connected because drivers have not been found, but works after unplugging USB connector and re-connecting.
Very good device.

pretty basic but works ok
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 18/06/2008

Very easy to setup and use. The only problem is that hitting ctrl key twice will switch computers. There is no way to change that or turn it off.
You would be surprised at how often you are in the middle of working and the KVM catches 2xCTRL key and switches computer. You then have to switch back and wait 20 seconds for the USB to get recognised on the original PC. Exceedingly annoying.
I'm sure this KVM is gerat for PCs that are not often used (eg a couple of servers), but don't use it on a normal desktop PC.

poor choice of title
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 07/02/2008

Only takes PS2 mouse/keyboard and won't take USB. Even with USB->PS2 adapter fitted it won't recognise them.

This is despite mentioning USB in the product title. USB is only used to go from the splitter to the computers. it won't recognise USB input.
