Functions flawlessly but cables too short September 2, 2010
Insectophile
This KVM switch works flawlessly with an XP desktop and a Mac laptop.
However, hot key switching does not work on a Mac. Therefore, the unit must be kept on my desk within reach so I can use the buttons for switching. Given the impractically short cables it barely reaches the very back my desk and kept falling off. I was forced to mount it to the desk with double sided tape.
Despite the short cables I think this was a great buy.

The reason I purchased this is to share my Acer 17" monitor, USB Keyborad and optical mouse (both Logitech) between my DELL 4400 desktop and my office laptop. It started working immediately after I set up the wiring connections. No S/W installation was required. I could switch between the two computers simply by using the hot keys (pressing Num Lock or Scroll Lock twice).
The other thing I like about this switch is that it does not need to be powered seperately.
Cons:
1) There is a lag of 2 secs when I switch between the PCs (though this is not an issue for me).
2) When I start my desktop (which is 8 years old), I always get the message "Keyboard Error" and the KVM switch stops blinking only after the XP loads completely. In other words, I could not switch to my laptop before I get my desktop screen.
3) Could not update BIOS info nor start my desktop in Safe Mode as key strokes aren't recognized during bootup. I need to disconnect the KVM and connect my Keyboard directly to PC to do so.
Have no comments about the Mike/Sound feature as I haven't tried it yet.
I have replaced my desktop with a new HP G62. The KVM switch was recognized and works perfectly with it.
 worked great, then stopped working August 13, 2010
Happy AMZ customer (United States)
Super easy to set up. It came with all of the cables. Just plug everything in, and it works! You toggle between two computers by hitting the Scroll Lock key two times. After about a month, however, mine stopped working. I did see some type of error message one time, shortly before it stopped working. One of the computers I hooked up runs Vista 64 bit. The other was XP Home. These boxes usually don't care about that sort of thing. First, the keyboard connection stopped working, and then the monitor connection. I don't think this is a bad product, especially for the money. I just think I got a dud. I highly recommend this to someone who has two computers, but doesn't want to have two monitors, keyboards and mice. Oh, the keyboard and mouse are USB. If it hadn't stopped working, I'd have given it 5 stars.
Adequate KVM switch, great price point July 26, 2010

My wife uses this switch daily. She uses her office laptop at home but doesn't have a docking station, so we use this switch to give her the big monitor and full-size keyboard.
For the price, my expectation was it would work for maybe a year and then we'd be shopping for another, more expensive model. Well it has now been 15 months and it's still going strong! My wife actually prefers to click the button on the unit rather than use the keyboard shortcut (double-tap CTRL key I think it is) and there is a slight delay before the mouse starts working. Overall, it's been a good purchase. If and when it does eventually fail, I'll probably just purchase this same model again.
 Does not work very well. July 22, 2010

It simply doesn't work. The majority of the time I use it, windows will say "USB Device has malfunctioned". If I switch back and fourth enough times it eventually goes through, but it is incredibly annoying.
You should probably get a hardware switch, instead of a software switch like this.
