Ab Work Outs: 2port USB KVM Switch With 2-cables Non-osd Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am extremely pleased with my new ConnectPro USB KVM Switch. I have it connected to a Notebook PC and a desktop PowerMac G4 and it works with both without problems.
Installation went smoothly. Just unpacked, plugged in the cables and it was ready to go.
The video quality is superb. I tested resolutions up to 1280x1024 and I can see no difference from having the monitor connected directly. The documentation claims support for up to 1600x1200.
I bought a IOGear switch before and I had to return it because I experienced a variety of problems detailed below. The Connectpro switch does not have any of those problems.
The main problem of other switches is that non-standard keys found on many usb keyboards do not work when the keyboard is connected through the switch, and the same goes for mice with more buttons than the three that are standard. For example my Apple keyboard has CD eject and volume keys that were ignored by the IOGear switch. All the keys work with the Connectpro switch.
The second big problem, many switches have an on screen display (OSD) feature that shows you on the screen which computer gets activated when you switch. At first this looks like a cool feature, but it has a big drawback: the switch permanently sends a video signal to the monitor, so even when the computer tries to put the monitor to sleep as part of its power saving procedures the switch will keep it awake all the time. The Connectpro switch does not have an OSD feature, but the power saving settings for the active computer work without problem.
Finally, this is the only USB switch I've found that gets power from the USB ports of the computers connected to it, so even though it comes with a power adapter in most cases you don't need to use it. The documentation states that some USB devices like printers or scanners consume more power than what the switch by itself can provide, so in that case you may have to plug the switch to a power outlet.
Overall this is a great switch, I absolutely recommend it!!!
