Operating Systems For Desktop And Laptop Computers

I needed something so that I could access two separate computers, with two different Operating Systems, to the same monitor - without having to change the plugs back and forth. This product did the job perfectly. I had to mess with the USB plugs a bit first, but finally got it right, and how easy it is now! I'm very pleased!

The product is really amazing... I am able to use it in on all operating systems.

Perfect little switcher for my desk, switching between audio sources (in my case a desktop and a laptop). Operating the switch in and of itself does not make a popping noise. Very nice.

Good dealings.. accurate operating systems also.

So far, the Bitdefender seems to work as most security systems for computers. It was part of the bundle with the laptop I purchased. I really like that I can use on 5 devices for one full year. That in itself is a great deal.

I use the Arc Mouse for my desktop, laptop and netbook computers. Very easy to use and the design makes it very comfortable to use. It takes just a little adjustment after switching from an optical mouse, but you will not go back.

Both dives allow me to easily transfer files from my laptop to my desktop computers. I find it very easy to use.

Short review: I wanted to find a USB switcher I didn't have to worry (or even think) about at all. This is it. Long review: for context for the rest of this review, my use case is to switch a common set of USB devices (keyboard, mouse, and USB audio device) between a desktop and a laptop. I bought this unit after having a poor experience with a much cheaper USB sharing switch from another manufacturer. This other unit lasted about two years, then started to fail to switch between host computers, and also seemed to be allowing voltage from one host to pass through to the other. I'm not one to risk damage to the valuable computers I've got hooked up to these switches. I got rid of that unit, did some research, and picked this one up based on some other folks' recommendations. This unit isn't cheap, and seems to be marketed primarily toward business use cases, but so far it's working perfectly for my home office setup. It appears that I'm getting exactly what I hoped I was paying for: reliability and safety. I haven't had a single electrical gremlin show up since I began using this. It automatically switches the three USB devices to my laptop when I plug it in, and switches back to the desktop when I unplug my laptop. I'd recommend reading the instructions and making use of the power supply.

I plugged the components that I wanted to share (keyboard, mouse, and printer) and the computers to share those components (laptop & desktop) and the KVM switch worked fine.

Perfect solution for running two computers (e.g., laptop and desktop) on a single monitor, with a bonus of using one keyboard and mouse for both. Simple A-B switch with lighted indicator showing which CPU is in use. Much superior to splitter, which increases interference and cuts resolution.
