Pros: good heavy metal quality, and the cables I bought only have one connector on the kvm side so theres less cables. I bought cable number tk-cu10 which is made by trendnet also. I have some new servers and the USB works fine on them. from Newegg.com This thing is nearly useless with USB keyboard/mouse, at least in our situation. The mouse won't work at all for 20-30 seconds (cursor is frozen), then might work for 3-10 seconds, then won't work again. from Amazon.com Pros: We've had the older version of this KVM on our tech bench for about two to three years now and it's been great. We just added the TK-803R to the other side of the bench to extend our repair capabilities and it works great. Cons: I seem to remember some issues that would happen some of the time with certain computers over the USB connection where you would have to switch KVM channels or restart.... from Newegg.com Pros: Easy to use. Video quality at 1024x768 seems quite good - I don't see the ghosting that other reviewers mentioned. No problems with a Microsoft USB keyboard and mouse. from Newegg.com Pros: Rack mount Cons: Horrible picture, unresponsive to commands. Cabling is propietary Other Thoughts: Returned this due to a poor responsive unit for keyboard commands. from Newegg.com Pros: With correct cables - it works perfectly Cons: This includes no cables - although the desc doesn't make this clear. Also - If you try to use cables from your 4 port USB trendnet KVM - these will not work. You need to buy new trendnet usb kvm cables. from Newegg.com Pros: Easy to setup, easy to use. Had no problems with a standard USB keyboard and mouse (even the scroll wheel works). Only used the booklet to get the hotkey combo. from Newegg.com Pros: Snappy switching, can disable beeping (thank goodness!), non-bulky cables (just a 15-pin VGA at the switch) Cons: Doesn't transmit all the data from my USB mouse and keyboard. I'm using a Logitech Internet 350 USB kbd, and not all the custom keys work. from Newegg.com Pros: works well easy to install inexpensive Cons: switching is a little sluggish Other Thoughts: Bought and installed this to manage 6 servers in a rack. It works well and I have no complaints. from Newegg.com also - if you try to use cables from your 4 port usb trendnet kvm - these will not work. from Newegg.com
