What customers say
Customers value this KVM switch primarily for its reliability and excellent cost effectiveness when managing two legacy systems. Its straightforward plug and play setup and included audio switching capability are frequently highlighted as strong benefits for the price. The device performs dependably for basic dual computer management using traditional PS/2 connections, offering quick switching times. However, users note limitations tied to its older technology. Integrating modern USB peripherals via adapters often causes compatibility problems with keyboard and mouse functions. Additionally, high resolution VGA monitors may show minor signal degradation. Overall, it remains a highly recommended budget workhorse for its specific niche: simple, durable switching for older workstations where value outweighs modern feature demands.
