Very Good Product
This was very easy to hook up & use. Flips back & force between 2 boxes and one monitor & mouse. Does not lose the mouse or keyboard when changing from one box to the next.
Worked well at first
This switch was so much cheaper and more attractive than the other models that I decided to try it. It works flawlessly for the laptop, but it keeps dropping the video signal for the home computer.
It could be Vista, or the fact that we're running two monitors on the home computer, but either way it keeps resetting the nvidia control panel to defaults that don't work. The mouse and keyboard controls work but the video signal quit switching.
Also the USB ports don't recognize some items (specifically the webcam).
Not with an ergo keyboard
The product didn't work with my MS natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 v1.0. I tryed other keyboards and they were just fine. The ergo keyboard had an echo like behavior where random keystrokes were repeated. No work around was found.
