What it does - It switches your VGA monitor between two computers, along with your USB keyboard and USB mouse. It has two buttons on the device to control the switching. It has two USB ports that go to your keyboard and your mouse. It has three VGA ports. One goes to your monitor (you use the cable you already have). Two go to your two computers. Interestingly, the KVM-to-computer cable, a special cable that is included (two of them), also carries the USB signal. The cable splits at the computer end and you connect the VGA connector and the USB connector to their respective ports on your computers.
What it does not - It does not switch audio. It is not designed to switch additional USB devices, although it may work for some devices that do not need high bus-power, if your keyboard acts as a unpowered hub. The device itself is powered by the computer's USB bus and it does not have a separate power supply.
This is exactly what I needed. KVM stands for keyboard, video, and mouse. That's all I wanted to switch between two computers (a Mac and a Linux PC laptop). I considered other KVM devices, and they had more features such as audio switching and special software, but they cost much more than this simple device. The package comes with software for switching, but it is for Windows only. The docs say it has a hot key, the scroll lock key hit twice in succession, that controls the switch. However, it did not work for me, probably because of my Mac keyboard which does not have a dedicated scroll lock key. However, the device is sitting next to my keyboard, and I just hit the appropriate button (1 or 2) to switch. It is quite small. The switching is nearly instant. What could be more simple than that?
A few things I have tried... It works fine at 1600x1200, 75 Hz. My normally used Mac resolution is 1280x960 at 75 Hz. My Linux laptop is old and can only externally output 1024x764 at 60 Hz, which also works fine. I do not see any degrading of picture quality going through this KVM. My monitor is 19-inch CRT.
In summary, the Trendnet TK207K 2-Port USB KVM Switch works great at a great price. If a simple two-way KVM for VGA/USB is what you need, I recommend this one.
Besides saving money, I think buying multiple of these really inexpensive KVMs has several advantages over buying one really expensive multi-monitor KVM:
1) If one goes out, you just replace the one, very cheaply. Instead of losing a $500 device, you only lose a $20 device.
2) You get two USB ports with each KVM, so you have more options on how to configure your devices. For example, I have my mouse and keyboard on the KVM for my main monitor, but I have my wireless headset on my secondary monitor. That way, I can choose to leave my headset attached to my work laptop while temporarily switching just my main monitor to my personal computer,
3) These are very lightweight and they take up very little space.
4) With these being so inexpensive, you could buy extra ones to switch just certain devices without switching a monitor. For example, I may buy another one to put just my headset on. It's kind of overkill, but it's a possibility.
The only potential disadvantage is that you have to press multiple buttons to switch each monitor or device. But I think having the ability to switch only the devices you want is actually an advantage. So I am very pleased with my setup and with these KVMs. If anything changes, like if they conk out quickly, I will update this review.
The only teeny tiny drawback is that my XP desktop reset its screen resolution without asking me, which stirred up my icons all over the place. But I set it back the way it was and arranged my icons and all is well, even after a restart. That is not a complaint about this device; it's a complaint about Windows doing things without permission.
The Windows 7 laptop was perfect from power-up. It has its own dock and the KVM is attached to the dock so I should never have to fiddle with the cables again. If I were to come up with any complaint, it's that this box is so light that the heavy cables drag it around and it won't sit flat, but thanks to the hot-key feature I won't need to reach for it very often.
That's it! It does its job, the screen is clear and crisp as always, and the keyboard hot key (double-tap the Scroll Lock, which is a key nobody ever uses anymore) works perfectly too. I'm a very happy camper. Getting that second keyboard and mouse off my desk is a great joy. Not accidentally typing on the wrong keyboard is an even greater joy. Back behind everything is now a LOT more cabling, but that was expected.
Not a single complaint. If you need a KVM switch and you're using USB input devices, this is the one you want. Click the yellow button.

Double press the scroll-lock key to change the system or simply press the dedicated hardware buttons on the box.
I run a convoluted system where my laptop and my desktop go to the same wired-keyboard+wireless mouse combo. Most of the time I have absolutely no problems. If the monitor (on very rare occasions) tell you that the timing/resolution isnt supported (happens when I connect the laptop to the device when the laptop display is still off), just reconnect the cable and all is well.
All the necessary cables are part of the package and the best part is that both the keyboard and mouse (or anything else connected to the two ports) end up as a single USB connector on the device - one less wire to unplug :)
I play FPSes on my desktop and I havent seen any lag or artefacting that I could ever notice. My desktop has a convoluted path to the KVM (HDMI-to-VGA converter on the way to the KVM) and yet, I've had no problems at all.
Switching delay is about 2-2.5 seconds - I have no problems with that at all.
Very highly recommended.
Falls mal die Technik/Elektronik versagt (Switchen von einem PC zum andern - und dann ist die Eingabe tot) nicht verzweifeln. TIPP: sämtliche PC-Verbindungen am Switch lösen - wieder einstecken und dann geht's wieder. Ist bei mir seit dem 27.06.2013 im Betrieb von 24/7 bisher einmal vorgekommen.
Meine Empfehlung: für diesen Preis die absolute Alternative zu den "alten KVM - Switches" mit Knebelschalter an der Frontseite.
