What a brilliant piece of kit! Having bought a new (faster) desktop I still had use for my old one. Having only one screen and an empty bank balance I needed something to link my two destops together. The D-Link KVM switch worked straight out of the box. Simple to install and use. Compact and comes with everything you will need. Thanks D-Link!

Does what it says
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 26/02/2007

I used it to connect a PC and an old Acorn RiscPC to a monitor. I deliberately chose a KVM with s physical switch as well as keyboard activation and this paid off as the RiscPC needs to sense the devices within a second or so of powering on. By pressing the switch on the D-link at the same time as powering on the RiscPC, I could make it work. A minority interest, I accept, but it does the job.

Good but not perfect!
Reviewed by Gary Thorpe. Review Posted 10/04/2007

I used this product to connect two desktop PC's at work, one running XP one running ME and it works great, easy switching via the hotkey with only the tiniest of delay. The only problem I have found is the mouse cursor doesn't work on start up of the PC running XP, it needs to be restarted before it gets going, after that everything is a-ok!!
That little niggle aside this is a very good product for the money and I would recomend to anyone wanting to simply run two PC's through one monitor/keyboard/mouse!

Not bad, but that beep is irritating
Reviewed by Tim. Review Posted 09/11/2007

Been using this switch for a few weeks now, and not had any problems with it. It does reduce the picture quality very slightly at higher refresh rates, but stick to 85Hz and lower and it's perfectly acceptable. The only annoying thing is the beep. The thing emits two loud high-pitched 'pip' sounds every time you switch machine, and when switching frequently it rapidly becomes very annoying. Other than that, can't fault it!

Great!
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 21/05/2007

I find this gadget great and enormously space saving - two PC's only really taking up the room of one. Both PC's work like a dream with the switch - great value for money and a small design so takes up barely any room on your desk.

Cheap and not cheerful
Reviewed by Remaha. Review Posted 08/05/2007

I have used this product off and on for over a year and it has caused me no end of problems. It doesn't seem to like anything other than the most basic keyboard and two button mouse. I am constantly having to reboot one or both of my PCs after switching. I have finally succumbed and am now looking for a new switch

Poor quality video
Reviewed by Tim. Review Posted 18/04/2007

It is easy to use and cheap, but there was significant ghosting on the monitor, and the keyboard and mouse only worked with one machine (I am using a laptop and desktop running Xp and Vista respectively). Therefore it is unusable for one machine, and detriments the other so much that it is also unusable. If it didn't degrade the monitor signal so badly I would still use it. D-link help is useless and Dabs wouldn't give me a refund (understandably, as its not faulty). I would say it's a risk to buy this, but other people don't seem to have had the same problems as me.
