USB VGA KVM Switch for 2 PC Sharing 1 Video Monitor and 3 USB Devices, Keyboard Mouse Scanner Printer, for Laptop PC Windows Mac OS System

Awesome, worked with my macOS, Windows, and Linux machines seamlessly. I like having three USB ports to make it easy to also switch my webcam between machines. The wired remote to change ports is pretty long. Only minor thing is my computers are in my bedroom and the blue light on the device is pretty powerful, so it'd be nice if there was a switch to turn off the blue light, but I can just put duct tape over the lights.

This switch works great with older computers. It has USB and VGA connectors. The remote selector button is very handy and the included cables were a good length for computers in a rack. It's built well. It's been in use for a few months now with no problems.

I needed to keep my Win7 desktop due to certain programs that win11 won't support so I put my old HP under the desk. It also has DVD players the new HP does not have. The KEY Button wors great. Winddows7 has a lot of features that are not on my new HP PC. I use snip a lot and win11 has a worthless version and win7 has a simple version and east to use. I just hit the Key button and snip from there and save in 1 of several formats and sometimes trans to a flash stick. I store a lot of stuff on old PDCRN

Aug 16, 2022This is for the DGODRT-US 4 port USB KVM switch. This is a replacement for an older PS/2 2-port KVM activated via hotkeys for Windows 2000 and XP. That system worked flawlessly. I've since added 2 more computers, and purchased this switch to accommodate. My setup is unique, which may be of help for those with questions. I have this set up with 4 computers: Vista, Windows 10, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Switching between the computers (with the wired key device - nice option!) is as follows: Vista & W10 - no issues what-so-ever. XP - Switch acts like a connect / disconnect, so sometimes it takes a few seconds to be recognized, but then works flawlessly. If I start XP first, it will not boot. It seems the KVM needs to be activated before hand, which XP will not do. I need to fire up Vista or W10 first, then switch over to XP at the start of the boot. Windows 2000 is a problem. Connecting a USB mouse and keyboard directly, without the KVM works perfectly. Using the KVM causes large mouse and keyboard delays, jumps, and lost input information. I've tried switching USB ports and switching keyboards and mice. I cannot find any solution to make these inputs work smoothly. As of now, I keep all plugs in, but have a PS/2 keyboard and mouse connected to the W2000 at all times. Video monitor has no issues with any system, unless XP doesn't boot because no devices were detected. I could plug in a PS/2 mouse and keyboard (and stash them in the back) just for bootup purposes if I wanted. Final word: An inexpensive option that works well for newer systems. For older systems, a KVM switch that has scanning may work better. This switch is a good value and easy to use if your systems are newer.Aug 23, 2022 - Followup: I finally did find an excellent solution. After trying a half dozen mice and various keyboards, I decided to try my Logitech K330 wireless keyboard and mouse. I installed these on each computer individually, then plugged the receiver into the KVM port. My results are excellent, with perfect startup and response from each. Just make sure the proper key button is pressed as soon as a computer is turned on.

Works perfectly with linux OS but windows ( 7 ) had boot issues that required an extra step to start that might just be specific to my system. Works exactly as described on seller listing.

Amazon blocks me from contacting seller directly so a review is my only communication option. (Furthermore Amazon sends you to so many links to do anything I accidentally filed this under an item Amazon shouldn't have even permitted me to review as I had returned it because it was the wrong item when this review was intended for that item's replacement! But I digress.) I bought this to connect an hp flat screen monitor, a Gateway keypad and tried both an older and newer logitech wired (laser light not mechanical) mice to my primary Windows 10 hp and secondary Windows 7 Gateway desktop PCs (that both still use VGA monitor connectors). When using my Windows 10 the mouse repeatedly stops being connected then is reconnected and sometimes I can continue working or sometimes it ends up disconneced and I either change the SWITCH USB plug to a different USB port in the back of my PC OR rotate the 3 USB plugs (mouse/keypad/printer) on the front of the splitter/switch to different switch ports or I will use the remote to flip from PC2 then back to PC1. More often than not after flipping back and forth between not recognizing and recognizing the mouse I get a popup that says "Windows 10 does not recognize newest device" ie the SPLITTER SWITH and I have to change the switch USB in the back of the computer to a different USB port. My most recent attempt has been to replace the newer wired laser mouse with an older wired laser mouse... which lasted longer but is now starting to have the same Windows 10 suddenly not recognizing then recognizing the mouse. If I get tired of continuously having to climb under my desk to get to the back of my pc's to siwth USB ports I will next see if a wireless mouse makes any difference. Also there is NO TECH SUPPORT (no phone number or contact information in the owners manual other than telling you to replug and reboot which I have to do multiple times while typing the same paragraph). Because it doesn't work for any extended period of time I had to rate it a 1 star for Value and Overall although the ease of installation and the remote were great. I wish I could have communicated directly with the seller instead of via this review.

Works great
