ieGeek KVM Switch Box 2 Port PC Monitor Switches Box + 2 x USB VGA Cables for Computer/Keyboard/Mouse Monitor, Plug and Play

I bought this switch box so that I could easily switch between my ASUS desktop running Windows 10 and my ASUS laptop running Windows 7. When I first got it, I immediately tried to use the switch with my ASUS desktop just by attaching my monitor but not the USB cables - big mistake - the switch needs power. So, after some brief discussion with some former co-workers who basically told me not to be lazy and crawl under the desk to attach the USB cables, the box worked perfectly. I then grabbed the laptop, attached the cables, hit the button on the switch to switch PCs and it worked perfectly as well. So, if you're going to buy and use this box just be sure that your desktop or laptop have enough USB ports to connect this switch and anything else you might want to or need to use (like a USB WiFi adapter). I can't offer a review on the quality as I've only had this switch for a couple of weeks but so far, it is working perfectly.

I bought this because I need to work regularly with 3 computers (sometimes 4). I am only using the keyboard and mouse connections of this unit because my monitor (actually a 4K TV) has 4 HDMI connections. The price of a KVM switch that has HDMI was so much more that I decided to save the money and buy this unit for the keyboard and mouse switching, while using the TV remote for switching the display. This unit has performed flawlessly. If you are using VGA, the cables that this switch comes with have the VGA and the USB wires bound together so cable routing will be a bit neater. For my purposes I was able to easily split the cables apart and store the VGA cables with the rest of my random cable collection. I have been very pleased with this unit.

This KVM is solid but I hope the company will redesign the box in the future for port placement. I have a 7 year old Trendnet TK-207 which was discontinued and the USB ports just recent stopped working last week. I prefer to use hardware that's built newer or that have recently undergone a revision in circuitry. This KVM worked without any flaws and was basically plug and play. A large sturdy silver button makes it easy to switch computers whenever you need to. The only downside to this box was where the ports are located. I hope both VGA ports would be located on the same side similar to the Trendnet box so there isn't wires all over the place like an octopus. Overall, I would recommend this KVM switch for operation and functionality.

The product is very easy to use, I had no issues connecting two different type laptops (Dell - HP) on separate docking stations to a single keyboard and Mouse. Prior to the purchase I had to keep two of each on my desk. The docking stations are set to VGA and HRD using a shared monitor that supports both. For a few more dollars I could have easily upgraded from a 2 port to a 4 port. Switch if I needed one. The toggle switch works great, all the cabling was included. Took less then 10 minutes to get everything working.

When I connected a computer to PC1 ports on the switch, the mouse and keyboard did not work with "USB device not recognized error". However when I connected the same cables to PC2 ports, it worked. Without further testing PC3 and PC4 ports, I am returning the switch. I had earlier bought the same item from another seller, halls-us, on Amazon, and was very happy with it. That is why I bought it again, this time directly from Amazon. Since I was happy with the earlier purchase of the same item, I give it 3 stars.

This switch box works great and has enabled me to use my monitor with my tower and laptop. I really needed this because the company I am currently working for sent me a laptop to use and I needed to use my monitor, keyboard, and mouse, as well as my headphones and foot pedal to type medical reports. This box has several USB ports on it and I can now use my keyboard and mouse when I switch from laptop to my tower. I do not have to reconnect anything. The cords are long, so they reach without any problem. I could not find this at any store. I am so glad I found it on Amazon. I highly recommend this item.

The ad is showing that this model is compatible with windows 10. However it is not. I bought this and connected windows 7 and windows 10. It recognized windows 7and the indicator light lit. But it would not transfer to windows 10 and the indicator would not light. After looking closely at the box it came in, I saw that it listed several windows that it worked with but Windows 10 was not listed on the box. I disconnected the switch and re connected windows 7. But windows 7 would not boot up. It was like windows 7 was now in "limbo". I reconnected the switch and pressed the switch until windows 7 re-appeared onto my monitor. I removed the switch but now windows 7 kept giving me an error message that it doesn't remember user's profile and it began to have weird problems. I restored windows 7 but that didn't fix the problem. I had to run the windows 7 disc. that took a few hours to complete. Then it needed to be updated to the time the last windows update was available. This took more hours. I contacted the seller, they said their technical department told them that this switch is compatible with windows 10. I sent the seller a copy of the box and a screenshot of their ad. They replied, informing me that, "so sorry, they no longer sell this model and it must have been shipped by mistake". I returned the switch. But had to spend several hours correcting the problem that the switch caused to my computer.

Even after 1 year , this is working fine, silent. Good material. Dont purchase OtherCheap quality product..as they may quickly fail in short duration.I am running 4 machines i.e firewall, server, laptop, desktop on this with one monitor and one mouse-keyboard. Easy-fast switching for 4 machine. Electricity & cost saving.
