Product Description The TruLink 4-Port USB and PS2 KVM Switch enables a user to control up to four computers with a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. For added convenience, this KVM switch works with both USB and PS2 mice and keyboards. Because the TruLink USB/PS2 KVM Switch also features a 3-port USB 2.0 hub (1-port if you are using a USB keyboard and mouse), any of the four connected computers can also share USB 2.0 devices. The sleek design of the KVM prevents clutter and saves space on a desktop, while the durable metal housing construction featuring rubberized ends protects the unit from damage. The unit is able to handle even the most power-hungry devices with support from the external power adapter or bus power if it is preferred. LED status indicators on the front take the guesswork out of which computer is selected. Best of all, it comes with all the cables that are needed, meaning there is nothing extra to buy!
Customer Reviews:
Works greatJuly 29, 2008 The box looks and feels substantial. It took me a few minutes to learn the button-pushing routine for switching computers, but it works fine. There was a problem with the video once, but a restart of the machine solved it. The most important feature for me is the ability to switch between OS9 and OSX.
Cables To Go 4 port KVM fares poorlyJanuary 8, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Cables To Go 4 port USB PS@ unit works well when you have manual mode on without sscanning on. But I have repeated problems with machines rebooting when the KVM is not switched to that device. The video card goes into some blacked out video mode. The pc has to be shutdown. The box drives the card into some lockup and on display there is a overscan error. The box does not properly simulate a monitor to a booting pc. You must bo the port and watch the reboot. Then card is OK until next reboot unattended. Frustrating. The keyboard and mouse are OK. But with wireless keyboard/mouse combo, the box can not be on auto scan mode. Too many drawbacks.
Unsatisfactory VGA ImageNovember 12, 2006 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought the Cables To Go USB KBM Switch to replace a D-Link KVM that had failed. This Port Authority KVM has neat features (auto-switching, switchable USB hub, auto-conversion of USB on all connected PCs to work with PS2 keyboard and mouse), but it delivers a poor image on my VGA monitor. My HP f2105 plasma display's image is fuzzy and has ghost images.
I've not yet determined whether the poor image results from the KVM switch, itself or from the KVM-to-PC cables that accompanied the unit. Either way, I wouldn't purchase this product again.
Great ProductSeptember 12, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Setup my Port Authority2 USB KVM last night on a home network to control 3 PC's. Two WinXP boxes and a Ubuntu Linux machine. All of them instantly recognized the mouse and keyboard and monitor without issue.
The box is small but feels heavy and durable with a rubber bumper style feet on the side. I am using the built in USB hub for a single machine, although it also can switch between the PC's.
One thing to note: The actual mouse and keyboard connectors are PS2 connectors. The box then uses USB to each PC for the keyboard and mouse signals. USB mice and keyboards can be used but must be connected through the shared USB hub ports.
