Unless both the pcs you want to control with this device are on top of your desk, or right next to each other on the floor, with your monitor to one side of the desk to be closer to the PCs, expect the cables to be completely taught or not reach at all. That's how long the included cables are, which essentially meant I got the switch for 10 bucks, but need new cables.
and I'd say it's worth that. I got this product for [.].
I've work with many different kvm switches in different environments (2,4, 16 port kvm switches) and I've never seen any kvm cables only 18 inches long. It's a perfectly decent KVM switch.
The one problem is the cables are abnormally short. With my current desk setup (both PCs on the floor on either side of a desk only wide enough to put my legs underneath), it's impossible to locate the kvm switch so that the cables can reach both PCs and have the switch accessible (ie not dangling behind the desk).
Or expect to get new cables.
Comes with all the cable necessary and the cables are really great quality I would prefer a bigger switch with more ports and USB, but you get what you pay for. It works very well and seems well put togetherSo all in all a good buy for the money.
Perfect solution to multiple systems, forget buying seperate k/b, mouse and monitor. Love the hot key function too. THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FIX. Simple to set up and a breeze to use. Works like a charm, multiple systems. GET THIS.
Does exactly what it's supposed to do, allowing quick switching between two PC's sharing the same keyboard, video, and mouse. The only reason it loses a star is because it managed to add unwanted functionality to the mouse's scroll wheel (I can't use it to scroll web pages up and down in a browser anymore because it also moves to the next/previous page), but that's a minor inconvenience. I've been too lazy to see if there's a way to re-configure the switch to defeat that, and the price was right, so I can't complain.
Small, compact, no frills.does what it needs to.buttons are a little stiff to push, but overall a good buy.
