Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of TRENDnet 2-Port USB KVM Switch Kit (Includes 2x KVM Cables) TK-207K (Blue)
Customer Review: it works... it WORKSss!!! imagine that!, a KVM that DOES work!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had previously purchased an elegant IOgear (GCS632U) but the thing only worked sporadically. I have my KVM connected to a pair of Ubuntu computers.
This little Trendnet JUST WORKS!!!!
Note to ubuntu (linux?) users: hit num-lock twice instead of scroll-lock two switch screens (or press the buttons on the switch).
PRO:
1) It works perfectly (stable image, 1-2 sec switching etc...)
2) It's cheap!
CON:
1) They could use a new hardware designer (ugly/clumsy boxes)
2) The cables are a bit short, usable but it could benefit from an added 12-18" of cable.
Customer Review: Good Product Works Great
Summary: 4 Stars
This product was easy to install and easy to use. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five is because the cords need to be 1 or 2 feet longer. Also the Switch Box could use a design change so that it sits on the desk in a neater fashion. At least not have cords coming out of 3 sides. Just having cords coming out of the back would be ideal but please no cords coming out of the front. Very messy looking on the desk. My desk real estate is not extensive. Having said that the bottom line is that I do like the product and just pushing one button to bounce between computers. It delivers.Customer Review: Value for money
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first KVM that I get for my self. I'm using it because I need to work with two pc in front of me, but both belongs different network (windows xp and windows 7).
PROS:
The installation took just around 10 minutes (I have some messy wiring in front of me), and everything just works, without even install the provided driver on both OS.
I'm using 1600 x 1050 screen resolution, and it really look nice.
The hotkey Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock is really convenient to switch between two pc.
CONS:
None
Customer Review: Like most TRENDnet products, it's borderline junk
Summary: 2 Stars
I've gone to this brand a number of times based on their features and price point. And I've been disappointed nearly every time. This unit makes no exceptions. Switching between computers is marginal sometimes requiring rebooting the power on the unit or, unplugging and replugging. I've tried it with PC and Mac and it's even worse with the Mac. Better units fake that the device is still connected when you switch computers so your computer doesn't think it's gone. Also, the buttons to switch computers get flaky after limited use. Save up your money and buy a higher quality unit.Customer Review: worked ok . and then stopped working
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought his to use at work where I was going to share 2 laptops with a monitor. (At home I have a great KVM from connectpro. )
The unit worked for a while (a month or so) then I noticed that I would have to reboot computers every now and then to get video signal or mouse or keyboard signal. Then I had to do it almost every time I wanted to switch computers. What a hassle. Don;t bother with this one if you are using laptops. (one was a DEll (worked fine) the other was an HP on a docking station (this is the one that gave all the trouble)
