What Others Say
USB Keyboard and Mouse Frequently Stop Responding
I'm using this KVM with a Thinkpad T60p and a regular Tower PC. Switching to the tower is lightning fast, however switching to the Thinkpad is very slow for the Mouse and Keyboard to start working. This is not such a big deal, just a minor annoyance.
My primary gripe about TRENDnet TK-209K 2-Port USB KVM Switch Kit with Audio (Includes 2x KVM Cables) is that the mouse and Keyboard freeze very frequently. I primarily use the Thinkpad about 95% of the time through this KVM switch and 4-5 times a day the USB mouse and keyboard make the audio signal as if I had just unplugged them and they are completely dead. The green light on the KVM just blinks as if no computer is attached. Then, about 30 seconds later the audio signal for a USB device being installed is played and they start working again. ...

works pretty well
Opened this up and had it set up in a few minutes. NO issues during the set-up. Initially, I just wanted a monitor switch and found the whole keyboard/mouse bit more than I cared for but now I am used to it.
works great
Allows easy switching between my Mac mini and Vista pcs. All cables are included. My only disappointment is that it is very small and cables are sprouting out from nearly every direction. I wish I had bought the next larger size.
Great Switch, Good Value
I use this with a Mac Pro and PC. I use this switch with my main monitor and my second monitor has two switchable inputs. With this setup I have one keyboard, trackball, speakers and two monitors instantly switchable, very simple. When I called Trendnet they said this wasn't possible. I went shopping for two-monitor KVM switches $150+ when this arrived. I hooked it up and it has performed flawlessly. Highly recomended especially at this price!
TRENDnet 209K an excellent switch
I've been using the TRENDnet 209K KVM switch for about a month now, and like it very well. This switch was a replacement for the Belkin PS-2 switch I had initially. Although it is about half the price, I like the TRENDnet USB switch much better.
The build quality is good. I mention this because I think one reviewer said that it was cheaply made, but I disagree with this. I've used three different switches on my two systems, and therefore have the experience to say that this switch is constructed very well. It is a small unit, however, and since the wires extend from all four sides, it's a bit ungainly when everything is hooked up. But I found that to be a minor problem. I taped it to a corner of my desk to stabilize it.
